2023 - 2024 Factory ~ Student Led: Unionise and stand for Palestine!

MAY 27, 2024

Hosted by Tuba Kılıç with KABK Student Union

When: 16:30 - 19:00

Location: Vleeshal

Unionizing is sexy, not just urgent. In the face of increasing disenfranchisement, of human rights violations, of labour law violations, of precarity, and alienation in the educational and working fields, in the face of neoliberalism basically, there’s nothing hotter than standing together in solidarity.

We will try to share how we’ve achieved becoming a Student Union, and hopefully, we can inspire you to start your own.

We’ll go through wins and losses, management negotiations, and what the core of our work has been in the past year - among other things transnational solidarity with the Palestinians.

As they say:
“Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever,
For the union makes us strong.”

Or something along those lines.

Do you guys wanna Unionize?
