Labor Education for All Workers

How can we include labor education in every aspect of our organizing? This workshop will provide participants best practices on how to run robust labor education programs for union members and all workers. Labor education can happen everywhere: steward council meetings, all member meetings, workplace and union newsletters, on union bulletin boards and on social media, as part of political education programs, and informally member-to-member. Participants will plan a formal program for their union or workplace along with exploring study and reading groups, writing workshops, hosting public events, speak outs and story-telling nights, zines and blogs, creating working-class culture, and mentoring new workers.

“Labor Education for All Workers” is based upon an article of the same in New Politics, Online Edition, 1 April (2024) available here: https://newpol.org/labor-education-for-all-workers/
