This book presents a radical proposal: paying students to attend school. Part polemic, part movement history, and part political strategy, Wages for Schoolwork is a rousing manifesto and call to action for disillusioned high school students fed up with stressed teachers, excessive workloads, and onerous adult expectations. Drawing on the rich history of student resistance and school strikes, this book charts a new course for education—one that recognizes the countless hours students devote to studying for what it actually is: labour. 

Informed by the victories of organized labour, feminist, and anti-racist movements, Wages for Schoolwork brings class struggle to the classroom by placing students at the center of the fight for a more just world.

The Invisible Doctrine explores the dominant ideologies, political economy, corporate power, globalization, labour history, economic inequality, consumerism, environmental issues, the climate crisis, public relations and propaganda, social alienation, and the rise of authoritarianism and fascism. The film has a depressing topic but an inspiring conclusion, describing a truly participatory democratic political system to repair the damage neoliberalism has done – a system that appeals to us as active citizens rather than consumers and our shared social, political, and environmental commons.

The Nakba, which means “catastrophe” in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The result of the war was the permanent displacement of more than 750,000 Palestinians, more than half of the Palestinian population at that time.  The Nakba commemoration is a reminder not only of those tragic events of 1948, but of the ongoing injustice suffered by the Palestinians. The Nakba had a profound impact on the Palestinian people, who lost their homes, their land, and their way of life. It remains a deeply traumatic event in their collective memory and continues to shape their struggle for justice and for their right to return to their homes. The Nakba is not just a day or date, but an ongoing process of ethnic cleansing that continues to this day. It is the genocide in Gaza, it is the violence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Ukrainian Labour Temple – Wheelchair Accessible

In its 104th year, the WMO is pleased to present its Annual Concert, Saturday May 10th, 7:30 PM, at the historic Ukrainian Labour Temple, 591 Pritchard Avenue.
The orchestra will play a variety of music including Ukrainian Suite by Zenon Dashak, who was a professor of viola and the long-time rector of the Lviv National Academy of Music and taught the celebrated violist Yuri Bashmet.  Other music from Ukraine includes the Concerto for Accordion - 2nd Movement by Nikolai Chaikin, and Arkan, a traditional Ukrainian dance arranged by Slava Prysiazhniuk, a violist and assistant conductor with the orchestra.

A new piece for us this year is Zorba the Greek. The music from this 1964 award-winning film is well suited to mandolins as the mandolin and Greek bouzouki are closely related. 

Compositions by Anthony Hopkins, Kuwahara, Piazzolla and Mosolov are present. We add a taste of Americana with Minneapolis musician, Peter Ostroushko's Heart of the heartland.

Our guest this year is the Sam Baardman Trio. Sam, a musician and photographer,
is also an orchestra member.

The Winnipeg Mandolin Orchestra is conducted by Annis Kozub.
