SUMMARY:Trade Unions in Transformation 4.0: 6th Session \"New Apps on the B
 lock - Unions going digital\"
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The digital transformation and the Covid-19 pandemic are forcin
 g trade unions to urgently improve their digital fitness. When workers are
  dispersed or must work from home\, established communication channels bet
 ween union offices and the shop floor level are interrupted - Conventional
  trade union action is impeded - and unions must innovate.<br><br>On a mor
 e structural level\, the local disembedding of economic activities and the
  informalisation of labour relations have been posing questions to unions'
  capacities to communicate with and organize workers\, to challenge new ma
 rket players such as digital platforms\, and to create spaces for negotiat
 ion and advocacy. <br><br>Increasingly\, unions are beginning to develop s
 olutions to overcome communication barriers and to build stronger organiza
 tions. In this online debate\, we want to explore what the state of debate
  and practice is in unions' digital innovations. Discussing examples from 
 unions in Argentina and Uganda\, we aim to provide insights into the poten
 tial of technology and\, more specifically\, union apps to build workers p
 ower. What problems can union apps solve? What has been learned in the dev
 elopment and use of union apps? How can we create synergies in the labour 
 movement to effectively build the right tools?<br><br>The event will be tr
 anslated simultaneously in English/Spanish/French/Portuguese.<br><br>Intro
 duction and overview:<br>- Victoria Basualdo (FLACSO) and Mirko Herberg (F
 ES)<br><br>Speakers:<br>- Dr Christina Colclough\, The Why Not Lab\, Switz
 erland<br>- Juan Ottaviano\, San Martín University\, Argentina <br>- John
  Mark Mwanika\, ATGWU\, Uganda<br><br>Moderators: Victoria Basualdo and Mi
 rko Herberg<br><br>We look forward to welcoming you!
