LET - Bylaw Essentials
Feb 8, 2024 (1:00pm-4:00pm (Eastern)) (5 spaces available)
Good bylaws are an essential component of a well-functioning local. In this workshop, you will learn the principles of good bylaws and how to make sure they are in compliance with CUPE's national constitution. We'll also look at how clear language bylaws help our members get involved in the work of the union. NOTE: Please bring your local bylaws to the workshop.
LET - Essentials for Inclusive Unions
Feb 9, 2024 (9:00am-4:00pm (Eastern)) (5 spaces available)
As activists in our unions, we often ask why members are not more involved. This workshop asks a different question: Who is involved and who isn't and what might be some reasons why? How might our unconscious biases contribute to this? How can we represent members in a way that invites those on the margins to get involved and to see the union as place where they want to make a difference?
