Hello readers, hello friends,
Here is a somewhat unusual E-Mail. My friend Dario Azzellini is organising a labour summer school in a couple of weeks’ time and there are some places left.
If I weren’t so busy and didn’t have kids to take care of, I would be there.
Here are the details:
Due to some last-minute cancellations, there are about 8 spots available for Labour Transfer School 5, taking place from June 3 to 10, 2026, in Buggerru, Sardinia (Italy)!
The LTS will have panels on: Social Reproduction Theory, Workers and War, Migrant Labour, Labour Law and Activism, Just Transition and Reconversion, Work and Technology, Rural Labour, Work and Technology, Labour History, Labour Activism in the times of Monsters, Haelth and Care, Art&Labour and Organizing... three concerts, hikes and a mine visit.
There will be activists from the world of work from six continents, including many readers of this newsletter.
The final program will be available in a few days. You can apply at:

LabourTransfer is an independent, not for profit, international initiative of global labour scholars interested in collaborations, synergies and knowledge exchange between academia and social organizations, aiming at producing emancipatory knowledge on labour and social issues. LabourTransfer gives participants a chance to exchange their research interests with academics, labour activists, artists, journalists and trade unionists from all over the world. LabourTransfer is not a traditional academic summer school or a training centre for trade unionists but a co-learning, strategizing, and networking place for labour activism and social justice.
The LTS serves as a venue for shared exchange and debate—where everyone learns from everyone else—bringing together labor activists (in all their forms), labor researchers, trade unionists, and students. It features the participation of over 100 individuals from approximately 30 countries spanning at least five continents. We also share meals and celebrate together; we go to the beach, visit an old mine in Buggerru, and learn about the mining town where the army killed four miners in 1904—an event that triggered Italy's first national strike.
