Can the workplace be a space of solidarity, and what does this mean in practice? How do technological and managerial changes transform ideas and practices of solidarity? Do new forms emerge? What are the levers and brakes of solidarity in the workplace today? Join us for a discussion on the current transformations of solidarity as concept and practice in the world of work.
