THE WOMEN'S STRIKE CONTINUES (2018)

Protests against tightening of abortion law prove that women pose a real threat to prevailing power relations. However, this is not the only manifestation of their strength in recent years. The Women's Strike Continues shows that women's resistance in Poland has its history. The film depicts the history of female employees of public nurseries in Poznan, which in 2011 has begun to fight the marginalization of women's work. The reason was a drop in workers’ wages and an attempt to privatize Poznan nurseries. In response to activities of the municipal office, carers’ have joined the trade union fighting for the wage increases, improved working conditions, threatened the authorities with the strike and ultimately blocked the privatization of nurseries. However, their protest is still not over.
