Workers Can Organize Outside the NLRB

When it comes to reversing labor’s decline, union elections through the National Labor Relations Board have proven woefully insufficient. We need strategies for building workplace power that aren’t dependent on the NLRB.

Happy labor day! Please take a moment to think about who you might have a one on one conversation with at work about improving your working conditions. Invite them for a lunch or coffee. That’s how it starts!

The IWW and EWOC are two great resources if yr starting from scratch.

A Fighting Union’s Path to Renewal: The UE Story

The ongoing organizational renewal and substantial growth of the United Electrical Workers (UE) is one of the most distinctly remarkable stories in the U.S. labor movement in decades. Few other unions have suffered such losses from state repression, raiding attacks by opportunist unions, and the catastrophic effects of corporate job relocation — and survived. Of the original 42 unions who comprised the founding roster of the Congress of Industrial Unions (CIO) in 1938, a grand total of eight survive intact today. UE is one of them. The remainder have passed out of existence, been destroyed by repression and employer attacks, or been merged into larger unions and lost forever.
