A Collective Response to Divisions in the Workplace and Beyond
Saturday June 13, 2026 11:05am - 12:35pm CDT
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.
