At IIPP we teach about the importance of social movements and collective action; supporting the strike and arranging this teach-out shows students that IIPP doesn’t stand apart from ideas that we discuss in class. It is important for us to demonstrate how organisations can take collective action in the face of inequality and problems like casualisation.

?Striking in itself is a part of the human existence – humans have organised and demanded better of their employers from the very beginning of civilisation... the act of coming together to go on strike is one of the most courageous and simultaneously powerful acts one can do... it’s the ultimate form of collective action – by organising, bargaining and striking, we’re able to achieve the change we need when it comes to reforming unfair labour practices.’
