Work Reform

I'm wanting to connect with folks on the ground trying to do the work to unionize their workplace

I'm in the midst of unionizing my workplace; my department signed cards and were expecting to get voluntary recognition as the second department to unionize got it. Seems that's not going to be the case. We have all been pretty quiet about organizing and are still; now the inexperienced "leadership" of our organization has been controlling the narrative in all staff meetings (they are optional). He is very careful to not union bust outright, but we know that he's planting the seeds of anti union sentiment when we already have a mixed bag of beliefs on that within the staff as a whole. He's also got some of the top union busting lawyers in his ear telling him what to say and do, obviously.

I'd like to talk to newly minted union members, those in the fight right now, and those who won their first contracts whether they were big victories or not so much. Connecting to one another and talking strategy and inspiring one another is so important. I work in social services and have connected to other agencies in the same field that have Unionized and it's proven extremely valuable. Regardless of the field, though, we are all workers and should come together in solidarity for our efforts!

What is your industry, where do you work, where are you in the process?
