Cancelled: LET Essentials for Inclusive Unions

Apr 17, 2019 | CUPE Local 703, Maple Ridge, British Columbia | English
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?

Cancelled: LET - Leadership Essentials

April 22 - 23, 2019 | CUPE Fraser Valley Office, Abbotsford, British Columbia | English | $15
Who am I as a leader? Who are we as a local union? How do we fit into the broader movement? Learn how to use the power of your elected position to build power and strengthen solidarity in the union, in the labour movement and in our communities.
