我們常常聽到人講：「無話邊個無咗邊個唔得」。但其實，社會得以順利運作，往往依靠一群「隱形」的「邊緣勞工」。
但在疫情底下，我們親身體驗到當清潔工不在崗位的時候，社會輕視的「dirty job」是何其重要；當政府宣佈關閉學校及各種院舍的時候，令防疫政策得以推行的是一眾受薪或無薪的家務照顧者；餐廳、外賣等前線工作人員照顧大家的溫飽；對於性工作的需求在疫情期間從未停止；社工、社會倡導者、社區工作者等等在崗位上為大眾爭取權益，推動社會變革，其勞動又何價呢？
照顧工作及體力勞動等工種往往被認定是「非技術性」及「次一等」的工作，對社會的貢獻也一直被貶低甚至否定。由這種否定的態度而生的是一整套令這些勞動人口在社會地位、經濟、福利、勞工保障及自我認可等範疇置於劣勢的社會制度。
當我們了解到社會由上到下都依賴著這些隱形的、被輕視的勞工的付出，是不是時候正視她們的勞動？而作為「邊緣勞工」的我們，如果我們的勞動不被重視，如果我們的生計不被保障，那麼我們又如何可以繼續呢？
是次分享會將會請來不同界別的「邊緣勞工」，分享她們的經歷與思考：只有當我們開始正視自己的勞動，才能有力量繼續推動改變。
During the epidemic, we have experienced first-hand how important the “dirty job” that is so often despised by the society is when the cleaners are not on duty; when the government announced the closure of schools and various institutions, it was the paid and unpaid housework caregivers who are taking care of those in need; front-line workers such as restaurants and takeaways never rested for a single day, and kept everyone fed. The demand for sex work has never stopped during the epidemic. On other days, social workers, social advocates, community workers, etc. fight for the public to promote social change for close to nothing.
Have you ever wondered what is the price of their labour?
Jobs such as care work and manual labour are often considered “unskilled” and “inferior” jobs, and their contribution to society has been devalued or even denied. Out of this negative attitude is as set of social systems that push these working people to the margin in terms of social status, economy, welfare, labour security, and self-recognition.
When we realise that society depends on the efforts of these invisible and despised workers from top to bottom, is it time to face up to their labour? And as “marginal workers”, if our labour is not valued, if our livelihood is not guaranteed, how can we continue?
This sharing session will invite “marginal workers” from different sectors to share their experiences and thoughts: only when we start to correctly revalue their labour do we have the power to continue to promote change.
