Join our friends at Labor Notes for their three-part Organizing workshop series this October! Register at: https://labornotes.org/october-secrets-series.  If you are interested, please let your Union Representative know by Sept. 30, as we may be able to pay the registration fee for members.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS:

Beating Apathy (Oct. 5)

Are you beating your head against the wall trying to get other workers involved? This workshop is for you. Hear success stories from those who’ve turned their workplaces around and turned apathy into action. Learn practical organizing tools for engaging your co-workers, taking action, and getting results.

Assembling Your Dream Team (Oct. 12)

Your workplace may feel like an unorganized mess, but the truth is you’re not starting from zero. There’s organization there already—though it might have nothing to do with the union. Learn how to map out the existing networks in your workplace, identify the leaders in those networks, and then knit them together into an organizing committee.

Turning an Issue into a Campaign (Oct. 19)

Everybody has complaints and frustrations, but an organizer has the power to turn problems into opportunities. Learn how to sort through the issues you hear from co-workers, bring people together, and make a plan to solve them.
