Following the success of our first 10-week course, we're taking some time to plan next steps for PEP.

We'll be contacting participants for feedback on how we can improve the project going forward.

In the meantime, we'd welcome people's initial comments/suggestions here.

"We're coming into a period where working-class communities will be facing battle after battle. There are no saviours. We need to listen to people about what their concerns and priorities are, organise in the community, and leaders will come through organically." - @JimSlaven

[Political Education Project @PoliticalEdProj]

"Unions are just one form of working-class organisation. We certainly need to reform how they're structured and organised. But we're going to need unions as institutions because they are united fronts of workers." - @BillFletcherJr

Are the trade unions capable the reform needed to organise the working-class?

"I certainly think they are capable of reform, but I maintain the view that independent working-class organisation is needed outside of those structures." - @JimSlaven

#PEP #SocialistSunday School

[Political Education Project @PoliticalEdProj]

Brilliant points made by @BillFletcherJr & @ChardineTaylor about the post-pandemic landscape representing an opportunity for the left to start building institutions and an ideological narrative based on collectivism and solidarity.

"My view from a community activist perspective is that trade unions aren't making the most of their power or resources to engage with the community or support struggles outside of the workplace." - @JimSlaven

[Political Education Project @PoliticalEdProj]

"The bureaucracy of how we do things in the union movement means that it's very difficult to respond quickly and effectively to what's happening on the ground." - @ChardineTaylor

[Political Education Project @PoliticalEdProj]

"The labour movement, certainly in the US, has been captured by the idea that trade unionism is about wages, hours and working conditions. It's not about the fundamental question of social justice or the transformation of society." - @BillFletcherJr
