Workers' survey - Testimonies - Reflections
2017-2023
To tell the truth, this is a maxim that still teaches us about the real
causes of our defeats; as much as it questions us about the resources we
must mobilize in order to reverse the balance of power in our favor.
Those who still hold the struggle between classes as one of the
essential keys to understanding the world today know how exploited labor
remains the major issue in this confrontation.
And if the question is invited to the heart of the media spectacle at
the height of mass mobilizations, it is in the anonymity of daily
exploitation that we must seek the thousand and one small gestures of
individual and collective resistance that forge the alloy of struggles
that surpass them.
It is therefore by exhuming and reappropriating in our own way this old
tool of the historical class movement, the workers' survey, that we set
out to meet a world that some say has disappeared, but is nevertheless
very much alive: the working class of today.
Foreign to any theoretical sophistication as well as to the canons of
specialized and scientific research, it is exclusively as members of
this working class that we addressed our own: workers in industrial
production and services, logistics, care, etc.
This modest experiment, conducted collectively in a few selected places,
allowed us to shed light on a fragmentary reality that is too often
silenced and ignored. It now demands to be continued and enriched by
others than us and in other places.
