Organizing the Unorganized: A Growing Labor Movement in Traditionally Non-Union Sectors
Elce Redmond, Hollis Harris, Hayley Neiling, and Jared Coles speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by EWOC.
https://workerorganizing.org
The labor movement is on the ascent among workers under the age of 35 for the first time in decades. Join a panel discussion with organizers from the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) and worker-organizers from an exciting graduate students' union campaign supported by EWOC. We'll discuss campaigns taking off across sectors that are changing the face of labor: from warehouse workers, to retail, to the non-profit world and beyond. Workers are learning from experienced organizers, attending seminars, and receiving one-on-one support for campaigns where many of the established unions are still not organizing.
