You’ve just made your 300th flat white of the day, you’ve been on your feet for the best part of 9 hours, you’re fucking knackered and a customer has just come back and wants their almond milk ice latte remade. You are a hospitality worker in London.
Hospitality work is often badly paid and tears at your soul having to smile and say thank you to someone who likely makes 5x your wages and doesn’t leave a tip.
With growing inequality it feels especially brutal as with the gentrification of London you often have to serve the very people who are also pushing you out of your neighbourhood and bars, cafes and restaurants are part of their playground as you just try to cover your rent.
The Solidarity Federation Hospitality Workers Union invites you to attend our organiser training. This training is free and open to anyone who wants to organise in their workplace, not just hospitality workers.
The training will include case studies of past workplace organisation and actions, how to map out your own workplace, role playing through a first meeting with your co-workers, and general tactics and techniques for organising and resisting.
We believe that the law is mostly a tool that the rich and powerful use to keep the working class in line, that the rich and powerful often get to ignore their own laws, and that relying on the law to protect us in the long run will only result in disappointment. The limited rights we have now often only came about due to workers fighting for them, and we need to keep fighting to prevent them from being taken away.
Need advice about an issue with your boss or landlord? Want support organising in your workplace or community? Want to talk about anarchism or syndicalism? Want to meet members of the group and find out how SolFed works? Just want to say hi? Then come see us at one of these drop in sessions.
The next session will be on Thursday, July 16th, 19:00 – 20:00, at the London Action Resource Centre (LARC), 62 Fieldgate Street, E1 1ES. We will be in the upstairs rooms. If you can, please bring a donation for the space.
If you would like to know more about anarchism and syndicalism, please see our recommended reading. Has links to both short introductions and more detailed theoretical and historical works, all available free online.
Come to the London Action Resource Centre (LARC), 61 Fieldgate Street E1 1ES, for the a monthly social and fundraiser. From 8pm until midnight you can meet up with other anarchists for a chill time to chat, gripe, and possibly even plot.
The Red and Black Club is the last Friday of the month, which will be Friday the 26th for June this month. We do not have an alcohol license so none will be sold in LARC, but feel free to bring your own booze. Suggested donation of £5-10 on the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of money. Half of this will go to LARC to keep the space running and half will got a new zine called Anarchy which we hope to distribute for free.
For our twenty second reading group we will be reading a selection of four short essays on different ideas about organisation. Each one comes from a different perspective, from left communist to insurrectionary anarchist.
