Unioning Workplaces

Time: 1 minute

• Need to schedule another meeting (CALENDAR)

@chima

Here is a folder with the documents below and outside resources.

We have two documents we are working on:

Explaining unions / benefits of workplace organizing. Based on people’s prior experiences trying to talk to their coworkers, having an outside source that could help explain unions/organizing would help cut down on the amount of explaining they had to do as well as lend credibility to their own organizing efforts.

A plan for how WCU could help organize a workplace - by @NoraG
Most of the guides out there are made for a worker organizing their coworkers. A plan like this shows how an outside organization can help and lower the risk for workers trying to organize.
