Registration fee
$15 - Regular registration
We will cover the basics of building a Contract Action Team (CAT), putting together an escalating campaign (potentially culminating in a strike), and dynamics between the bargaining committee, CAT, and the membership.
This workshop is for union members looking to build their skills for contract campaigns. We recommend that you register with a group of your coworkers if possible.
Prerequisites for this workshop: We strongly encourage workshop participants to first attend our upcoming "Secrets of a Successful Organizer" online workshop series, if you haven't taken it before. This is a three part series that will take place June 16, 23, and 30. We plan to review concepts from Secrets, but we recommend previous familiarity in order to get the most out of the workshop. You can register here.
Alternatively, or in addition, we recommend that you buy Secrets of a Successful Organizer, the book that the training series is based on. We suggest you read it together with the coworkers who will be coming with you to the contract workshop.
