Anarchy @ Work

Wednesday, 17 November 2004
7:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Organizer: Baltimore Anarchist Union

Class Action (Philadelphia) of the Northeastern Federation of Anarchist-Communists (NEFAC) has organized a leg of the speaking tour "Anarchy at Work" in the mid-atlantic area. This is similar to a tour held in Canada last year in which a group of anarchists involved in workplace struggles ranging from rank & filers, organizers and members of workers cooperatives talk about their experiences in the workplace and how their anarchism relates. Class Action is involved in the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) organzing campaign on Philadelphia's South Street Worker's Union; similar to the involvement of the Green Mountain Anarchist Collective with United Electricians' (UE) organizing in downtown Montpelier. The Open City collective of New York City will share their perspectives as rank and file members United Federation of Teachers (UFT) and the
American Postal Workers Union (APWU). La Commune of Montreal will speak on their experiences with the workers cooperative of the People's Potato.
