What you can win at the bargaining table depends on what you do away from it—on the job and in the streets. Panelists will share strategies, challenges, and how our unions have grown through some of our biggest current and recent fights.
Are you in a workers cooperative? Is your union or worker center organizing or supporting workers co-ops? Are you curious about how unions and cooperatives can work together for democracy and workers’ power? Come share experiences, resources, and ideas.
Do you have an inactive or stagnant Labor-Management Committee? We’ll identify common experiences, examine why these dynamics arise, and pinpoint how they benefit management. Learn what tools union leaders can use to achieve our objectives in these meetings.
