Report on a Workshop and Book Launch: Crossing the Divide

This publication reports on a workshop, held in Johannesburg in August 2017, on the topic of new organising strategies by trade unions and other forms of worker organisations that are emerging in the face of the growing informalisation and fragmentation of work. Participants included representatives of informal worker organisations and trade unions, labour research and support organisations, and representatives from global and sub-regional trade union organisations, as well as university-based labour scholars and students. Organizers of the workshop were the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung in Johannesburg, the Society Work and Development Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand and WIEGO.
