DESCRIPTION:British authors Lydia Hughes and Jamie Woodcock will be visiting San 
 Francisco to discuss their new book Troublemaking: Why You Should Organize 
 Your Workplace.\n\nThere are no unorganizable workers, only workers yet to 
 be organized. There has been an explosion of organizing among workers many 
 assumed to be unorganizable, from delivery drivers in London and waste 
 collectors in Mumbai to tech workers in Silicon Valley. \n\nFrom these 
 movements, Lydia Hughes and Jamie Woodcock draw a number of lessons about 
 why organizing at work is the first step in building another world. They 
 will be in discussion with SF's Gifford Hartman.\n \nLydia Hughes is a 
 workplace organiser. She has been a leader in organizing foster care 
 workers, food delivery couriers, cycling instructors, cleaners, security 
 guards, and game workers in the UK. She now supports socialist education 
 initiatives and is active as a union member. She is an Editor at Notes from 
 Below and Red Pepper.\n\nJamie Woodcock works for a university and is a 
 researcher based in London. He is a member of two unions, he supports new 
 worker organizing through several large UK unions. Jamie is the author of 
 books including Working the Phones and Marx at the Arcade, as well as an 
 editor of Notes from Below and Historical Materialism.\n\nGifford Hartman 
 is a Certified Trainer for the Global Labour University. As a rank-and-file 
 worker, he participated in organizing in Berkeley in the 1990s; in 2008 he 
 and his co-workers launched a four-day wildcat strike at a non-profit adult 
 school in San Francisco. Over the last 25 years he has been an adult 
 educator, labor trainer and working class historian.\n\nPlease be vaxxed 
 and masks strongly recommended. Thanks!\n
