Are you a union member looking for ways to address and solve problems at your workplace? Or a new or experienced shop steward looking for a fresh take on supporting your coworkers? Join us for a four-week introduction to workplace representation! We will cover the basic laws, principles and skills of contract enforcement, with an emphasis on the organizing skills we need to build unity and power at work.

Classes will take place each Tuesday in March from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. All classes will be offered hybrid, with students participating either in-person or online via Zoom. Each class is part of a series; participants completing all four sessions will receive a certificate of completion. The first class is on March 7th. We have a few online spots left for late registrants!

In partnership with the Washington State Labor Council, we are relaunching a multi-month leadership cohort to support a new generation of activists ready to step up. Kickoff event in mid-May. Cohort begins meeting in Fall 2023.
