DESCRIPTION:The WEI Fourth Fairness at Work conference\, Justice at Work:
  Challenges and Possibilities\n\nBuilding on the three previous Fairness
  at Work Conferences at the University of Manchester (in 2012\, 2014\, a
 nd 2016)\, the 2018 conference aims to bring together academics and prac
 titioners to discuss strategic issues on the subject of justice and fair
 ness at work. The last two years have seen a major shift in the politica
 l environment and an emergence of a politics of national insularity. Yet
  at the same time major strides have been made in raising awareness and 
 support for living wage campaigns and improving workplace justice.\n\nTh
 e conference aims to discuss developments in our understandings of the i
 mpact of technological changes (e.g. the gig economy)\, the changing exp
 eriences of work amongst groups of vulnerable workers (e.g. younger work
 ers)\, the impact of an increasingly hostile context on notions of justi
 ce and fairness at the workplace (e.g. a greater challenge to minority r
 ights) and the responses and roles of trade unions and other civil socie
 ty organisations in dealing with such challenges.\n\nThe conference is b
 eing held in Manchester at the same time as the 150th Annual Conference 
 of the UK’s Trade Unions Congress and will organise sessions linked to t
 he TUC conference themes\, with invited speakers and activities focused 
 on the future of trade unions and worker regulation and rights.  The TUC
  was founded in Manchester in 1868 and the WEI Fairness at Work conferen
 ce will include social and cultural activities linked to the labour hist
 ory and struggles for equality of the city.\n\nThe Work and Equalities I
 nstitute will be holding a fringe event at the TUC 150th anniversary con
 gress on the evening of Tuesday 11th September.\n\nFor further details v
