Join LION and SALT for a BPOC Workers' Rights Training & Social
Land In Our Names (LION) are collaborating with Solidarity Across Land Trades (SALT) to deliver a worker's rights training for BPOC growers, farm, earth and land workers.
Are you frustrated and exhausted by working without job security, decent pay, power to influence decisions, or workplace cultures that value and care for you? Do you understand your employment rights within an informal and confusing sector?
Do you want to work in a world where people are cared for as well as the environment? And do you feel that your care and love for what you do can be taken advantage of in a way that creates unhealthy working conditions?
Come to the Soanes Centre on Saturday 28th June for an afternoon of sharing, learning and strategising to build workers’ power! This session will empower workers across land related trades to start making the changes needed to ensure the viability of our livelihoods.
Claire Ratinon will deliver a short training about workers rights, specific to growers employed in the agroecological sector. They will have food and drinks and close the training with time to socialise and connect.
SALT have recently published their workers enquiry which revealed that “of the 46 workers surveyed, Black women were the most likely to report having experienced discrimination” which aligns with much of the research that LION has conducted in their research reports, Jumping Fences and Rootz Into Food Growing.
They believe that worker's rights is deeply connected to racial, land and food justice and therefore, they are co-hosting an event supporting BPOC workers in agroecology, herbalism to know their rights.
