About this training
As an employee with a time-limited contract at the University, you have little leverage when it comes to working rights. Nobody has to do anything, your contract just runs out.
In this training some unions and organisations at the university which may be of interest to you - in English.
Or as the fellows from the Industrial Workers of the World, est 1905, introduce their workshop: "Do you like to complain about your working conditions but don't do anything about it? Then you haven't made it past "A". Are you angry about impossible hierarchies and at their mercy? This is where the "O" comes incomes into play. Would you like to urgently change several things at your work but feel alone in doing so? AEIOU: Trade union organizing, organizing according to the principle of the IWW - Industrial Workers of the World!
- Get to know AEIOU: Agitate, Explain, Inoculate (platonically meant), Organize, Unite
- What is the pyramid principle of a solidarity union and how does it work?
The training contains short theory inputs, large and small role plays (groups of 2 and larger), sketching and more.
You can break one finger, but five fingers make a fist! Don't mourn, organize (Joe Hill)"
