Manual Labours, In Certain Places and iROWE (Institute into Research for Organisations, Work and Employment) have announced an event on Tuesday the 3rd of November 2015 from 5:30 to 7:00pm at the Media Innovation Studio, University of Central Lancashire, to discuss the processes of complaining: from making to managing to mellowing - this event will focus on new research into workplace complaining.
The event features presentations from:

- iROWE’s Gemma Wibberley shares her recent research into workplace mediation and the participants' experience.
- Choreographer Hamish MacPherson presents ideas stemming from a series of workshops with a London based complaints team.
