This educational event will examine the notions of "precarity" and "precarious labor" by analyzing three approaches to the political mobilization of precarious workers--the unemployed, the undcocumented, the underpaid, those whose labor is fragmented, informal, and/or invisible--in Europe. Is precarity a new identity around which we must organize and unionize? Is it a set of conditions not linked to a particular working condition, but rather to an affective bio-political terrain of struggle? Or is it an indication of the need for new methods of struggle that combine direct action with the appropriation of the means of social reproduction?
