The attack on public education and public services is taking place in Europe as well as the US.

University Lecturer Irmi Voglmayr will report on the students’ protests and occupations in Vienna. Trade unionist (Public Service) Karl Fischbacher who is also founder of LabourNet Austria will show videos on European strikes and the role of the trade unions.
RESULTS OF EUROPEAN LABOR STRUGGLES:

2. No death penalty in Europe, as well as most of the rest of the world.
