This film traces back the 40 years’ struggle of the oldest of Rodrigues Island workers union, the RGEA (Rodrigues Government Employees Association). These 40 years of RGEA is also about the emancipatory journey of the Rodriguan people that are being denied their right to auto-determination. Being a left progressive union, the RGEA has always in its history refused the status quo and classical rhetoric of unions about only defending its members’ rights. This film digs back in RGEA’s 40 years rich life struggle that has marked the Rodriguan society. RGEA defends the vision that the unionised members is a workers that lives in a society that needs to be taken care because a union cannot pretend the best its member without caring for the society the latter lives in.
This film has been realised by the Rodrigues Government Employees Association in collaboration with the Centre for Alternative Research and Studies and Rising Ocean. If you want to learn more about RGEA :
