The Precarious Workers Brigade

“Do you work Monday-Monday but still can’t pay your bills?

Are you freelance but you don’t feel free?

Are you tired, anxious and wondering if you’ll ever get paid?”

We are a growing group of precarious workers in culture & education. We call out in solidarity with all those struggling to make a living in this climate of instability and enforced austerity. We come together not to defend what was, but to demand, create and reclaim:

EQUAL PAY: no more free labour; guaranteed income for all

FREE EDUCATION: all debts and future debts cancelled now

DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS: cut unelected, unaccountable and unmandated leaders

THE COMMONS: shared ownership of space, ideas, and resources
