The Panel Discussion 🗣️
On September 14th, a panel discussion shed light on the intersectionality of modern labor movements and emphasized the crucial role of collective rights and action. The discussion explored increasingly precarious working conditions of seasonal and care workers, artists, delivery riders, and incarcerated laborers, many of whom are migrants working within the informal economy. 👷♀️🎨🛵⛓️ The panel was organized in cooperation with the Vienna Chamber of Labor
