“Labour Media Producers of the World Unite!”

This project is based on the acknowledgement that the labour movement and allied working class formations have been setback politically and ideologically over the past few decades. On the other-hand, monopoly-capital with their supportive governments have strongly contributed to the relatively weak state of the labour movement and progressive left-wing forces in society through their direct attacks on the working class in several socio-economic respects. A very important corollary to weakening the defence of working class people all over the world has been the insidious ideological influences of working class life in the form of the mainstream media.

The development and formation of the International Labour Media Network (ILMN) is an attempt to contribute to creating an alternative independent media space globally for working class organisations and labour media producers to exchange their productions and maximise their use and consumption all over the world, guided by international solidarity and support for working class causes.
