This manifesto is a product of the fifth GLI International Summer \nSchool, held in July 2016. After the experience of the first three \nSummer Schools (2012-2014), some of the threads of discussion were \npulled together into a draft \u2018manifesto\u2019, which was first discussed in \n2015 and then again in 2016. In concluding sessions of the 2016 School, \nthe Summer School Commission presented proposed amendments for plenary \ndiscussion and debate, the results of which make up the 2016 Living \nManifesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The International Summer School Living Manifesto is an attempt to \ncreate a plan of action for reform of the international trade union \nmovement, taking into account the experiences and knowledge of summer \nschool participants, along with the recognition by many unions \ninternationally that change is necessary to progress our agenda. \nStarting in 2015, each year the summer school revisits the manifesto, a \nliving manifesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The living manifesto gives the broad principles that we believe are \nnecessary for unions to adopt so that we can shift the global balance of\n power back in our favour. Not all of the points will be agreed by \neveryone, and nor are they intended to be, but the majority of points \nare agreed by the majority of participants. Our aim is to provoke \ndiscussion, and encourage adoption of the key points of the manifesto; \nour common political purpose, democracy and organisation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
