Strikes are disruptive, inconvenient, divisive and sometimes even illegal. Yet they are also good. They are good because they are ways in which workers constitute themselves as agents who might not only overcome the domination they face, but could take responsibility for the management of the ...economy itself. However, if that is what makes strikes good, then it seems almost no strike exhibits these good features. Join Alex Gourevitch as he proposes a way out of this dilemma, while maintaining that it cannot easily be overcome.

This event will take place this Wednesday, April 9th in SHH 409. We hope to see you there!
