Temp work is on the increase. The corporations survive on a constant turn over of young, poor temp workers doing routine admin and clerical work. I think this is one of the places where multinational capitalism is also *vulnerable*. None of these workers have any loyalty to the compnay; I bet most of them already steal from work.
Is is feasible to start to organise amongst them? Are ther any places where this has happened? I imagine most mainstream unions won't toch temps with a bargepole -- and even if they did they' wouldn't be able to offer them any real benefits? Can we?
What are useful tactics that temp workers can use, collectively or individually?
Didn't see this but I've just posted this on the other thread.
Quickly I think it is feasable to start to organise but we have to make links because the increasing use of temporary workers and the increase in casual work effects everyone, temps, part and full time workers. It means deteriorating conditions for all and cuts in health & safety. The next Catalyst will be put together soon and will no doubt feature something on this so if anyone has any thoughts send them to us c/o lancashiresolfed@hotmail.com
