Through the lived experiences of Dutch Uber drivers, IN THIS TOGETHER reveals how contemporary work systems pit people against one another. Following the screening, there will be a panel talk in which our guests explore how whistleblowers, filmmakers, and researchers can build collaborative practices to expose these realities - making invisible struggles visible, while resisting the very exploitative structures they seek to challenge.
Also Phuong Hoan Le (Public Administration); Roy Huijsmans (ISS); Jing Hiah (ESL) from Erasmus Platform Labor Group will join the panel discussion.
