We know that governments, businesses and the law will not protect the dignity of migrant workers: history has consistently shown that only the power of organised workers can generate lasting improvements in labour conditions.
Across the UK, the Pan African Workers Association (PAWA) and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) have been mobilising with many workers in care, logistics and hospitality to build the power of the working class.
At this event key organisers from PAWA/IWW and the Black and Migrant Workers (UNISON) will discuss the organising challenges, strategies and successes they have experienced in the last few years. They will also discuss what the new immigration proposals mean, and how we can collectively organise to improve our lives as migrants.
Tapiwa Guruuswa is a founding member of the Pan African Workers Association and an equal rights campaigner.
The event will conclude with Q&A and open discussion, with light food and refreshments.
The event is for everyone interested in finding out more about how workers can organise as a union to fight exploitative working conditions, and how to build resilience through mutual aid and solidarity.
Additional ;Beverly Simpson and Susan Magutakuona are trade union activists in the Black and Migrant Workers group in UNISON.
