Union organizers don’t have an easy task ahead of them. Workplace politics, stress and anti-union sentiments can take their toll. It’s important for organizers to recognize how fear and power can be used to undermine their cause. This workshop outlines how to empower workers and create a safe place where they can conqueor their fears.
The workshop from Organizing for Power details:
Exercises so workers can recognize how workplace hierarchies can create fear
Identify and confront their fears through discussion
Realize their power once they have confronted their fears
Empower and define the roles of a union organizer
