Before traveling the world, take a tour of the workshop...
Workers' Survey - Testimonies - Reflections
2017-2023

In truth, this is a maxim that still teaches us about the real causes of 
our defeats; just as it questions us about the resources we must 
mobilize to reverse the balance of power in our favor.

Those who still hold the class struggle as one of the essential keys to 
understanding the world today know how exploited labor remains the major 
issue in this confrontation. And if the question is at the heart of the 
media spectacle at the height of mass mobilizations, it is in the 
anonymity of daily exploitation that we must seek the thousand and one 
small gestures of individual and collective resistance that forge the 
alloy of struggles that transcend them.

It is therefore by exhuming and reappropriating in our own way this old 
tool of the historical class movement, the workers' inquiry, that we set 
out to encounter a world that some claim has disappeared, but is 
nevertheless very much alive: the working class of today.

Extraordinary to any theoretical sophistication as well as to the canons 
of specialized and scientific research, it is exclusively as members of 
this working class that we addressed our own people: workers in 
industrial production and services, logistics, healthcare, etc.

This modest experiment, conducted collectively in a few select 
locations, allowed us to shed light on a fragmented reality that is too 
often silenced and ignored. It now demands to be continued and enriched 
by others and in other places.
