Industry, Labour, Work – Degrowth Perspective on Political Economy for Global Periphery

Ana Maria Boromisa (IRMO, HR), Pablo Sanchez (EPSU, BE), Dijana Šobota (UATUC, HR), Ludovic Voet (ETUI, BE), Thomas Würdinger (IGM, DE). Moderated by: Daniel Chavez (TNI, NL)

There are legitimate but also unjustified fears related to the future of industry and the future of work in a post-growth society. In our debate we will focus on the political economy of a degrowth society on the global periphery. Regardless of geographical position, we will focus on the most vulnerable aspects of the industry that need to be transformed and search for ways how working conditions can be further improved. Challenges related to automation or digitalisation of work will be considered through the role of technology while carbon and environmental impacts of the industry will be closely examined. An exchange between trade unionists, workers and the degrowth movement will be essential in defining the framework of discussion that is not yet taking place.
