Racial Justice Conference (place holder only)

Anti-Harassment and Bystander Training
Nov 29, 2023 (2:00pm-5:00pm (Eastern))

When we are disrespected in our union, or when harm, harassment, and discrimination happen we are unsafe. We would not accept it from our supervisors and managers at work, and it is not ok in our union space. When we witness others being harmed, oppressed or injured, we can intervene in safe and effective ways before, during, or after a harassing or violent situation. In this 3-hour workshop, learn and practice how to intervene.

Global People Power: Building worker solidarity in a global economy
Nov 29, 2023 (2:00pm-5:00pm (Eastern))

SLS - Ally skills for stewards

Pre-requisites: Introduction to Stewarding

Effective stewards are champions for human rights and equality. Explore what it means to be an ally, and ways that stewards can step up as allies in the workplace and the union.

SLS - Growing our mobilizing power

Pre-requisites: Introduction to Stewarding

Stewards can play a key role when the union needs to mobilize our members – whether it’s to support the bargaining committee, or stop the employer’s attempt to contract out our work. Learn basic mobilization theory and explore how stewards can tackle workplace problems in ways that engage more members and build the union’s power.
