Workplace Organising for Migrant Workers: A Discussion about our Rights

Migrant workers are often in some of the most precarious positions in the labour market. While economies depend upon their labour, they are routinely subjected to poverty wages, labour rights abuses and health and safety violations. 

The rights of migrant workers in Ireland will be front and centre of a discussion taking place on Saturday June 13th at 2pm at the Teachers Club, 36 Parnell Square, Dublin 1 D01T6V6.

At this event, key organisers from the Pan-African Workers Association (PAWA) and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), along with activists from the African Centre Ireland, will discuss the organising challenges, strategies and successes they have experienced in the last few years, and how we can collectively organise to improve our lives as migrants.

Among the speakers will be Abdul Malik and Phanuel Stones, both members of the Pan African Workers Association and equal rights campaigners. Laura Duggan is a casework coordinator for the Industrial Workers of the World in Ireland. Lassane Ouedraogo is the Chair of the Africa Centre Ireland (ASCI).

The events will conclude with Q&A and open discussion, with light food and refreshments. This event is for everyone interested in finding out more about how workers can organise as a union to fight exploitative working conditions and how to build resilience through mutual aid and solidarity
