February 24th Training (Online)
This workshop has limited capacity and is for stewards and elected officers who work with stewards – not staff.
Please register only if this applies to you.
Fighting grievances is not only about how well you argue your case. It is also about organizing members to build pressure on management. This workshop will focus on how to win creatively without going to arbitration—or sometimes without even filing a grievance.
Join Labor Notes for an online workshop for shop stewards on supercharging your grievances. Hear from stewards about how they have used grievances to organize their coworkers and talk with other labor activists about how to handle sticky situations.
When: Monday, February 24
Time: 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Where: This is an online workshop and will be held via Zoom.
$10 – Regular registration
Contract Ronda at [email protected] or 517-887-8844 to register.
Workshop hosted by Labor Notes.
