Class Dismissed: Capital's War on Workers and Democracy


November 18, 2011 to November 20, 2011


The conference will explore the current attack on workers and unions seen in places like the United States and Britain, and look at the warning signs that this anti-public sector worker wave is already on its way to Alberta and Canada. We will also explore the accompanying attack on democracy and how capital is working to hinder real action to protect our common environment. As always, we will look at hopeful examples of resistance from places like Wisconsin and North Africa, and see how we in Alberta can learn from those experiences.

Venue: University of Alberta, ETLC (Engineering Teaching and Learning Centre)
Location: 116 Street and 91 Avenue Edmonton, AB
