Overcoming Organizing Challenges

Course categoryOrganizing

Building a strong union takes all of us—but too often, challenges can hold people back from getting involved. That’s why we launched the Overcoming Organizing Challenges webinar, a training designed for all union members.

 Together, we explore the common communication obstacles that impact new members, stewards, and organizers alike and work on practical solutions to break them down. This is your chance to learn from others, gain new tools, and help build a more active, powerful union community. Watch the video, take notes, and use these skills back at your worksite!
