Next Episode: #12 "Sorge um die Sorge": Geschlecht, Demokratie und Arbeit zusammen gedacht.

With our guests Dithhi Bhattacharya (Centre for Workers' Management, India) and Janina Hirth (ExChains Netzwerk und TIE, Deutschland) we will discuss how precarious workers in (fast) fashion retail in Germany and the workers in garment factories in Asia who are producing for the European and North American markets can make themselves heard. What role does democracy at work play in the struggles for better working conditions in Germany and India? How can workers on both ends of the value chain decide and act together in their struggle(s)?
