In co-operation with the Institute for Economic Democracy
15 March, after the screening of Factory to the Workers (beginning at 20:30)
After the screening of the documentary Factory to the Workers, a talk will be held with the film's director, Srdjan Kovačević, and Drago Varga, a former trade union representative, and current Director of the employee-owned company ITAS.
The documentary takes the viewer into the turbulent times of struggling business, managerial fraud, and workers whose livelihood depends on decent wages. The talk will touch on the role of employee ownership in capitalism, reveal the motives of ITAS’ antagonists and speculate on the future of alternative models of ownership in economy.
The talk will be hosted by Tej Gonza, Director of the Institute for Economic Democracy, an organisation whose introduction of economic democracy, following the examples of international best practice, brings a breath of fresh air to Slovenia.
