Fall Organizing Training Session 6: Developing Membership Campaigns
- January 6th 04:30 pm to 06:30 pm
- Virtual
- Want to know how to get your colleagues more active in the union? Interested in building member power in your local and/or building? Curious about organizing but not really sure how to do it or where to start? This virtual training series will be a deep dive into workplace organizing strategy and techniques. It is designed to equip local union leaders (especially building reps and membership contacts/chairs) with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop successful organizing campaigns. We will cover how to conduct an effective one-on-one organizing conversation; build and maintain a worksite organizing committee; plan and execute an organizing campaign to address a workplace issue or support local bargaining; effectively engage members in organizing efforts and recruit new and potential members into the local. The training is broken into six, two-hour virtual sessions, each addressing a different element of organizing but designed to build off of and reinforce one another. We highly recommend that participants attend all six sessions. If that is not possible, each session also functions as a stand-alone training. Session will include interactive elements. We have attempted to make sessions as engaging and participatory as possible within the constraints of a virtual platform.
