Secret: Use the Issue Your Co-Workers Really Care Most About To Build the Union

from The Labor Notes Podcast · host Labor Notes

“Secrets of a Successful Organizer” is a core Labor Notes workshop that packages a member-led organizing philosophy into a concrete action plan that you can start using in your union campaigns.  It’s also based on our bestseller of the same name where we explore the basics of bringing members into the union, understanding how your co-workers are already organized, and identifying leaders who can amplify members’ demands and help build power.  Our “Secrets of a Successful Organizer” online workshop series usually takes place in three sessions on different themes: Beating Apathy, Assembling Your Dream Team, and Turning an Issue Into a Campaign.  In this third and final episode in a three-part pod series on this training, we’ll focus on “Turning an Issue Into a Campaign.”   Labor Notes Organizer Sarah Hughes joins the pod. Listen to Part 1 and to Part 2 here!
