> Massive demonstrations, blocked railway lines, occupied universities:  
> the French youth succeeded with it’s energetic protests against the  
> CPE to launch the issue of precarity into the mass media. Only months  
> ago, youth in the /banlieues/ made their situation public, with  
> action methods that were no less confronting. In the Netherland the  
> term precarity is unknown. Precarity, or “precarité” in French,  
> refers to unstable and insecure work and living conditions that have  
> become more and more dominant in our “flexible” society.

> Meanwhile, social movements from around the continent have made the

> Mayday, twenty European cities will be the site of Euromayday parades  
> and protests of temp/net/flex workers and migrants against precarity,  
> for flexicurity and citizenship. They allude to the rise of new  
> social subjects, Brain- and Chainworkers, and the /precariat/ as a  
> new, fragmented proletariat. In the Netherlands, flexibility has been  
> the reality for years: contract are generally temporary, rarely  
> permanent and never for life – and no trade union that is still  
> opposed to that. Work and income have become more insecure, while  
> everyone still has fixed basic expenses, that aren’t flexible at all.  
> With the new privatised care system and a rise in rents coming up, it  
> looks like precarity threatens to become the norm for more and more  
> people in the Netherlands as well.

> Is the unrest in France representative for the situation in the  
> Netherlands and the rest of Europe, or is it a local reality? Is

> On the 1st of May, Labour Day, de Balie will host a discussion on
