Class Dismissed: Capital's war on workers and democracy

Parkland Fall Conference 2011
November 18-20, 2011 | University of Alberta


If you attended the conference, please help us evaluate the success of this Parkland Conference by filling out our evaluation form and sending it back to us..

The conference will explore the current attack on workers and unions seen in places like the United States and Britain, and look at the warning signs that this anti-public sector worker wave is already on its way to Alberta and Canada. We will also explore the accompanying attack on democracy and how capital is working to hinder real action to protect our common environment. As always, we will look at hopeful examples of resistance from places like Wisconsin and North Africa, and see how we in Alberta can learn from those experiences.
