AN EVENING WITH AUTHOR AND HISTORIAN SEAN SCALMERAs debate over our working lives intensifies amid ongoing political, economic and technological challenges, Scalmer’s critical and timely book on the history of work and play affords us a way to understand the past so we can win back our time - collectively.
As ACTU President Michele O’Neil puts it:
‘Sean Scalmer has done the movement a great service with this book. It is an invaluable contribution to the struggle of working people to reclaim their own lives from the incessant demands of those employers who would claim more and more of our time for their own.’
We invite you to join UnionsWA as Sean and others discuss strategies to limit labour time, redress the imbalance, deliver a fair share of the benefits of our collective productivity back to workers, and win back much needed family and leisure time for Australian workers at this free event.
