Vapaa Helsinki -karnevaali 2008 1/5

Vapaa Helsinki carneval 30.4.08 in Helsinki.MayDay! MayDay! From Milano to Helsinki, from Malaga to Berlin, MayDay Parades have spread throughout Europe and beyond.They express the common will to fight precarization and the criminalization of migrants, to make the daily struggles of the precarious visible, to work together to subvert and disrupt the flows of money and power in Fortress Europe.Nowadays, precarity is structural and generalized. It's the paradigmatic condition of work. Structural, because it is the modern form of capitalistic dominance on labur, the outcome of individual bargaining at the expense of collective bargaining. Further, labor precarity is transformed into precarity for life. When the separation between working time and living time blurs, in a context where worktime can be expanded with no limits, precarized labor conditions become precarious conditions of existence. Migrant workers are the most precarious among the precarious. This is the main claim made by EuroMayDay 008. Precarity negatively affects income security, housing, mobility, provides discriminatory access to knowledge and skills, denies open&free information, communication, and sharing.
