We are excited to welcome the return of the Puget Sound Troublemakers School on Saturday September 30 at South Seattle College (main campus - West Seattle). Troublemakers Schools are day-long mini-conferences that cover organizing skills and highlight real-world examples of taking on the boss - and winning. Whether you’re new to union activism or are an experienced union activist, there’s something there for you! 

The planet is heating up, wages are way behind inflation, and corporations are taking home more profits than ever. But we are seeing a huge surge in organizing! Unions of all kinds are organizing and taking the fight to their bosses. We see brand new unions, labor-organized community campaigns, workplace actions and strikes and more challenging power and winning.  

Join Labor Notes and labor activists from around the area to strategize, share skills, and learn ways to organize to win.

Saturday, September 30, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
