Organizing Toolkit: Introducing Coworkers to the Union

[chima (Harpreet Chima)]

This is the primary goal of this toolkit:

@chima

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.

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.

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: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eNIdaXjr8zlClK9TuXUjZD8kYBb_5hssTHZhRRQE2VE/edit?usp=sharing
