Late last year saw the emergence of the Fees Must Fall student protest movement. The movement’s main demand was for university fees not to be increased in 2016. Their united countrywide struggle that was taken to the highest levels of the ruling party and government ensured victory and within two weeks the president announced that there will be no university fee increases. However, at many campuses students included the demand to end outsourcing of university services and the related workers’ employment. Many students united with these over exploited and low paid workers who provide mainly cleaning, gardening and security services and demanded their insourcing with significant improvements to their conditions of employment.
In Wednesday's show we look at the experience of the insourcing campaign that united students and workers and how far they’ve come. What lessons are there for the labour movement from this experience?
The Education Struggle – workers
and students united for insourcing?
