Overview
Work is not meeting our needs - to say the least. And the gap between how we know our workplace should be and how they actually are is only growing.
But the path to do something about problems at work feels murky, it feels like a lot, it feels too risky.
At the same time right now being unorganized as co-workers and as a working class is devastating us outside of work too as billionaires control more and more of society.
Unions of Our Own is a radically new framework and practice for workers who need and want change at work…and in the world. It reveals the eight fundamental building blocks that it takes to create a sustainable labor union that meets your needs — as you define them. Through practical tools, clear guidance, and gripping examples from personal experience and fiery labor history, Unions of our Own is an actionable, inspiring, and confidence-boosting guide on how to use these 8 blocks to win the job you deserve.
The clarity you’ll get will take you from square one of even considering action all the way to the union you imagine. Not only can you do this, it is only you and your co-worker who have the wisdom and collective power to make your job as it should be while making justice in your industry and community.
But you can’t go in with a blank slate, that wisdom and power needs to be surfaced, tested, and refined. The union design framework of the 8 blocks enables you to do just that. Frustrated workers are on the move but too many union efforts are falling short or not getting off the ground in the first place.
Cookie cutter organizing methods and traditional models don’t cut it - not for a long while and even less so in the current moment. It takes something more: it takes you. Unorthodox, irreverent, and battle-tested, Unions of Our Own, shows the way.
