At Agora 92, discussion focused on workplace democracy and its central role in promoting social justice. This concept underlines the importance of worker involvement in business decisions, and the need for equitable governance within organizations. Social justice, a complex and multi-dimensional theme, is based on the fight against social and economic inequalities, particularly affecting working conditions and workers' health. This reflection was enriched by the tribute paid to Marie-Odile Franckaert, a leading figure in this struggle.
Contemporary social justice issues, addressed through various articles, include diversity and inclusion, wokism, artificial intelligence and the issue of “bullshit jobs”. The importance of rethinking leadership and fostering more equitable practices in the workplace was also highlighted. The current political context, marked by the rise of the extreme right, calls for a collective commitment to preventing social injustice. It is becoming crucial for everyone to get actively involved, to ensure a fairer and more inclusive working environment.
