Join Siobhán ODonoghue of the Migrants Rights Centre of Ireland in a discussion with Jane McAlevey about her book, Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell). In her book, McAlevey describes her experiences in the labour movement organising bold, large scale campaigns in ‘Right to Work Nevada’ and elsewhere in the U.S., rebuilding the labour movement into a winning movement. 

McAlevey's experiences organising in the student, environmental justice and union movement reflect her central belief that meaningful change can only come with whole-worker organising" that puts ordinary people at the center of their own struggle, in their workplaces and in their communities.

7.00 p.m., 17th November 2014, Thomas Davis Lecture Theatre

Organised by the Department of Sociology in association with Mandate Trade Union, Communication Workers Union and IBOA The Finance Union
