[LabourStart (<a href="http://LabourStart.org" target="_blank">http://LabourStart.org</a>) 5th Global Solidarity Conference<br>
(<a href="http://LabourStart.org/2014" target="_blank">http://LabourStart.org/2014</a> ), Unions and Media - Track (6),<br>

<br>
<br>
Theme:<br>
<br>
The digitalising of the economies means major challenges for<br>
workers and their unions globally. New ICTs create new structures and<br>
new 'cyber-works' that allow the state and capital to reorganise<br>
production, consumption, finance and politics alongside global<br>
production commodity networks. As a result we are lose social and<br>
labour rights that we won after giving long and painful democratic<br>
struggles in the<br>
centre and the periphery. Yet, the developments in the ICTs also bear<br>
great potential for us when re-organising ourselves. The workshop<br>
creates a space for fruitful practical and solution focused space to<br>
exchange and work on impressive tools and tactics, core issues, main<br>
problems and useful lessons on digital labour (self-)organising,<br>
especially of the informal and precarious workers'. We invite key<br>
labour activists, organiser and researchers who are engaged and<br>
observing the most recent experiences, to share ideas and collaborate.<br>
