When workers look powerful, we feel powerful, and when we feel our most powerful, we win. How we look sways how much power bosses think we have, demonstrates and strengthens our unity, and helps demonstrate how amazing it is to be part of a union. But many times our movements don’t give more than a passing consideration to things like signage, staging, photographs, or slogans: the things that help us look and feel our most powerful in the street. »

One of the most important tools in the rank-and-file toolbox for transforming the labor movement is running for local union office. Internal elections are one of the ways that members can present a new way forward for the union, by putting the direction of the union in the hands of the membership—even if it means challenging existing leaders to do so. »

Philadelphia-area unionists are planning a day of skill-building workshops, education, and strategy discussions to put some movement back in the labor movement. The goal is to help workers get active in resisting management attacks—and taking the fight on the offensive. In other words: to make “good trouble.”
The school will be a great opportunity for union members and other workplace activists to share strategies and build the solidarity required in these tough times. »
