How to Organize your Workplace - Hamilton

Having problems at work and are not sure what to do? Have you heard about unions but not sure where to start? Or are you a union member who wants to kick things up a notch at your workplace? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then How to Organize Your Workplace is for you!

Over two days participants will learn what it takes to go from zero to an engaged committee of coworkers that can take on the boss and win! Together we will learn and practice the ideas, methods, and skills necessary to build power at work. The course will also look at different approaches to union building, an introduction to Canadian labour law and history, and why organizing at work is the best way to make a real impact for those who want to build a better world. 

The training will be run over two days with snacks, coffee, and lunch to be provided. It will feature lessons from seasoned organizers as well as hands on skill building exercises and role-plays, all in a safe and constructive environment!
