Amelia Horgan interviews Isabelle Ferreras

Common Wealth’s Amelia Horgan spoke to Isabelle Ferreras about the firm, democratising work, and feminism.

« What is fundamentally undemocratic is that those who are governed by the rules and decisions of the organisation — of the firm — are not in a position to consent. This is a situation in which workers are alienated and cannot consent. And, of course, the threshold of a democratic government is when those who are ruled can consent. »

The UK hub of the Democratize Work

The Centre for Democratising Work is the UK hub of the Democratize Work initiative housed at https://www.common-wealth.org. The Centre intends to bring academic research into dialogue with trade unions and activists and develop analysis and resources to support the democratisation of work. We publish analysis alongside more theoretical essays and convene discussions and workshops on the future of work.

The current constitution of work is premised on exploitation and domination. How can work be democratised, decommodifed, and decarbonised.
