Description

"Philipp Staab, researcher at the Institute for the History and Future of Work, opens the session with a lecture on Digital Capitalism and how it appears in an era of stagnation, its aim being to push demand and the intensification of consumption. He speaks about the new type of labour force and the elements of Industry 4.0. Annette Muehlberg, Ver.di, delivers a lecture on the role of trade unions in creating guidelines for digital labor, exploring new forms of social security and new rights for the new workers. Valery Alzaga, UNISON, takes a look at the matter from the workers’ perspective and discusses how unions can create alternative platforms to organize themselves. An open debate follows, moderated by Juha Leppänen, Demos Helsinki."
