Presented By: Sarah Warren, UNITE HERE Local 8 (hospitality workers union)
Have you thought about organizing your workplace into a union? Do you wonder why more workplaces are not organized? We'll talk about some of the reasons why it is so difficult to organize a non-union workplace to join a union, and focus on the practical and logistical challenges. We'll discuss some recent successes from UNITE HERE nationally, and what contributed to their successful organizing. Finally, we'll also talk about first steps to organizing your workplace for general collective action, and what opportunities there are among the many challenges.
