Improving our workplaces, strengthening our unions, and fighting for a better world: it's good work, but it's often hard. Hear successful organizers describe strategies to take care of ourselves and each other as we build a dynamic movement that can win. Between brief presentations, everyone will have a chance to share what they've figured out in their lives.
Bullying, conflict, and other divisions weaken us. The more united our worksites are, the easier it is to solve problems. In this interactive workshop we’ll practice member-to-member communication tools that help increase respect among co-workers, fight oppression, and respond collectively to workplace problems.
Could you use more activists at work? How about a way to quickly spread information throughout the workplace? This workshop will help you build power with a member-to-member network at contract time (Contract Action Team) or in between contracts (Member Action Team). Learn how to find other activists and leaders, and how to build an infrastructure to take on bigger and bigger workplace fights.
How can you build any lasting organization in a workplace where the annual turnover is 150 percent? This panel is about sharing and developing strategies to organize with our co-workers at large employers like Amazon, despite the churn.
