The Globalisation School

This week there was an encounter, the Globalisation School, in Soweto, Johannesburg, of many militants from different social movements, unions, community activists, political parties and with different left organising traditions. The encounter had the aim of reflecting on how to construct and sustain the workers struggle.
On thursday, the militants added to the protests happening in Johannesburg and all over South Africa against University's fees (since 1994, there are no public universities in South Africa). The protests also demand more investments on education and the end of outsourcing workers in universities.
A lot of singing and dancing, shared experiences, and discussions on how to unify the struggles for education, housing, land, incomes... How to rethink the workers organisations that are now outsourced and casual workers, and whose demands the old structures of the unions don't correspond anymore.
