>> 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 
>> topic subject of their daily political practice. On the 1^st of May, 
>> 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 
>> precarity an issue, and if so, what are the consequences for our 
>> thinking about work, life and politics? Do the trade unions still  have 
>> any role to play? And can’t flexibilised labour relations offer  the 
>> possibility of a more autonomous lifestyle?
>>
>> On the 1st of May, Labour Day, de Balie will host a discussion on  these 
>> questions and more. With spoken columns, film, debate and  reports of the 
>> Euromayday parades.
