The workshop titled 'RETURNING TO OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES: The Challenges Facing the Labour Union Movements' is designed to empower union officials and activists with a profound understanding of the foundational principles of unionism and its historical context. This educational initiative is organized by the Centre for Public Service Productivity and Development and aims to address the pressing challenges faced by trade unions today. The workshop will delve into significant historical economic frameworks, such as the Keynesian approach during the Great Depression, the New Deal, the establishment of the Welfare State, and the ensuing rise of neoliberalism and globalization, all of which have deeply impacted labor unions and workplaces.
