THE WORKER SOLIDARITY NETWORK AND THE LABOURERS’ INTERNATIONAL UNION OF NORTH AMERICA PRESENT:

ORGANIZING 101 WORKSHOP SERIES

Are you tired of having your labour taken for granted? Are you interested in unions but don’t know where to begin? Do you want to come together with your coworkers to challenge power and stand up for yourselves? Or do you just want to know how to protect yourself from missing wages, discrimination, and bad bosses?

At this stage in the COVID-19 Pandemic, workers understand better than ever that they deserve better protections and fair treatment. Workers deserve to know how to stand up for their rights. Workers deserve unions.

Join us for our Organizing 101 workshop series to learn how to organize for the rights you deserve.

For the first time ever, the Worker Solidarity Network and the Labourers’ International Union of North America are teaming up to offer a comprehensive and FREE online workshop series covering everything you need to know to stand up for your rights, fight back against employer abuse, and form a union.
