More information about the event:
In the 1990s, Filipina hotel workers contributed significantly to not just particular labor struggles at Copenhagen hotels, but also to a broader radicalization and mobilization of the Danish hotel- and restaurant workers’ union (HRF). This book talk recounts the stories of Filipina/o migrants recruited for service work in Denmark – and Europe – from the 1960s onwards, and their trade unionizing at Copenhagen hotels.
The first documented participation of Filipinas/os in labor struggles at Copenhagen hotels were in the 1970s, but it would take the union two more decades to actively engage and assist its migrant members. When Filipina hotel workers started mobilizing against outsourcing schemes and pirate cleaning at Copenhagen hotels, their organizing efforts contributed to a doubling of the membership numbers in the Copenhagen branch of HRF. They selforganized in The Filipino Network within the trade union, and took the lead in local labor struggles as well as in the board of HRF Copenhagen. Through the HRF experiences with migrant worker mobilization, the Danish trade union movement started rethinking its strategies for engaging migrants in union work.
The talk is based on the new book ’Labor Pioneers. Economy, Labor, and Migration in Filipino-Danish Relations, 1950-2015’ (Ateneo de Manila University Press, 2019). The author Nina Trige Andersen will also sell the book at a discount price during the event.
