WEBINAR ALERT: Climate Change and Labour: Ex-GKN for Future ATTENTION: 12 March 2025
Climate Change and Labour: Ex-GKN for Future In the webinar, we will discuss a bottom-up initiative started in 2021 by workers who lost their jobs when the former GKN factory suddenly decided to close down. Over the past three years, the workers have organized several strikes in convergence with the climate movement and decided to engage in a bottom-up ecological transition of the factory, which was in the automotive sector, into a new tissue for the production of solar panels and cargo-bikes. They've implemented a very ambitious plan with the involvement of academics, and the newly formed cooperative 'ex-GKN For Future' has launched a solidarity campaign and issued one million euros in shares to promote bottom-up reindustrialisation through a 'popular shareholding' initiative. This case opened a public debate on the possibility of bottom-up ecological transition projects, which aim to democratise the transition and define an industrial reconversion based on social rather than market needs.
