Organizing Toolkit: Introducing Coworkers to the Union

Workplace Organizing
1

We finally made progress on our developing material for workplace organizing this week!

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.

We voted to turn this into a side quest at the 8/7/2025 meeting just following up and voting in favor.

This is the primary goal of this toolkit:

There are two main sections we are working on:

  1. What is a Union 101
  2. FAQ: Common questions workers have about unions

We are scheduling a day to work on this between Sept 15-21. Please fill this Rallly.WCU out with your availability to we can schedule a time.

If you have time to work on your own, feel free to continue adding to the FAQ or leaving suggested edits/additions to the “What is a Union 101” page.

I am not sure if we are in a place to work on the plan for how WCU could help organize a workplace directly right now, so let’s put that on the back burner for now.
