ExChains!
– Solidarity Along the Subcontracting Chain:
Retail Workers Unite!”
Garments sold in shops like H&M, Metro, Neckermann, Karstadt
Quelle or Otto make a long journey before they end up on display.
Workers may have produced cotton fibres in Kenya; other workers
may have spun, woven and sewn the garments in factories in

New
organising
The changing world-order also poses questions to the way we organise.
Methods and concepts that worked well in the early 20th century
might not be suited anymore in this globalised world. Women workers,
migrant workers and precarious workers for instance face different
challenges and problems than the ‘typical’ male blue-collar
worker. Providing space for new ways of organising, like a laboratory
for new labour strategies, is critical for gaining a deeper understanding
of these changes and for developing effective counter-strategies.
