Jura is pleased to be hosting this special talk on the practice of anarcho-syndicalism, by Laure Akai, the Secretary of the International Workers' Association (IWA).

The IWA was founded in 1922 in Berlin and has Sections around the world. The IWA is an international federation of anarcho-syndicalist labour unions and initiatives, based on the principles of revolutionary unionism. Sections and Friends of the IWA play an active role in workplace struggles and solidarity campaigns, such as the victorious Domino’s Pizza campaign in 2012.

This event is part of a series around Australia and is organised by the Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation (ASF), Australian section of the IWA.

Laure will be in Australia on a speaking tour in February; it’s the first time the Secretary of the IWA has visited Australia. The tour is part of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the IWA in Australia and the 30th anniversary of the ASF (the majority of ASF members are based in Melbourne).

Laure will give a 20 minute presentation, followed by questions and discussion.

This event is free and is part of a series which will also include events in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth.
