Hallo rohrpostler, ich möchte Euch zu einer Podiumsdiskussion mit Aktivist*innen von "Berlin vs. Amazon" und "Berlin Tech Workers Coalition" einladen. Dies ist eine englischsprachige Warm-Up-Veranstaltung zu dem Berliner Gazette Ausstellungs- und Konferenz-Projekt SILENT WORKS (https://silentworks.info) und wird von Magdalena Taube (Berliner Gazette) moderiert.
*Berlin as Technopolis* Big tech is using the Covid-19 pandemic to take over Berlin. Amazon, for instance, one of the biggest profiteers of the crisis, is turning its logistical empire into ‘critical infrastructure.’ Meanwhile, workers are being romanticized as an ‘essential’ labor force in order to suppress their bargaining power: ‘heroes’ are expected to sacrifice themselves for ‘the greater good’ rather than go on strike. This big tech-driven neo-feudalism is crowned by Amazon’s soon-to-be erected tower in the heart of the city. How can workers, that is: how can we, join forces against the rising Technopolis? This event takes place in cooperation with and in the context of MODELL BERLIN.
