Workers in Informal Employment: Organising and Bargaining Collectively

This course offers a platform to analyse and discuss the political economy of informal employment and forces driving it. Our focus is on worker collective power and specifically on strategies for collective organising and bargaining in spaces where worker rights are commonly denied.Across the four content chapters, we will get to learn more on themes such as: workers in informal employment organising and bargaining collectively to resist and overcome their exploitation; the power structures and forces that drive and sustain informalisation, and critical reflections on questions of worker collective power and action, including collective bargaining.
