IWW Labor Organizing Workshop

Organizer Training - Join the IWW and put the Bosses to work!

The Industrial Workers of the World is a union for all workers, dedicated to organizing on the job, in our industries and in our communities. We aim to win better conditions today and to build a world in which production and distribution are organized to meet the needs of the entire population, not just a handful of exploiters.

Our union hosts trainings to help us connect workplace organizing with making the world a better place to live in. We believe in the potential of ordinary people to transform society, and we do our best to come up with practical steps we can take now to help get it going.

This training will be led by members of the IWW's Organizer Training Committe. Our Training Committee is made up of folks with "real jobs". The IWW believes that every union member is potentially an organizer. We enjoy sharing stories of our successes and failures and learning about the same from our fellow workers. We think it's best for the people who make up pur union, not paid staff and highly paid bureaucrats, to call the shots and set the tone for our organizing.

Interested? We invite you to check out this training. Our union uses many methods to build the power of working people. On this day, we will be focusing on techniques for starting an organizing campaign. We will review how campaigns begin, are nurtured, and can be pushed to the maximum of their potential. We will learn about the limitations of labor law, and the advantages of direct action. We'll enjoy the chance to meet rebellious workers, and make plans for the growth of revolutionary unionism in Northern California.
