Building Local Power is the leadership school you need.
Before you can take collective action in bargaining, before you can fight grievances, and before you can effect legislative changes, your union must do the foundational work to build strong, internal systems that make your members feel welcome, valued, and empowered.
Building Local Power takes a deep dive into engagement organizing—turning the resources you have into the power you need to make the change you want. This class is set up to meet you wherever you are on your union journey as a new or veteran leader.
Through highly interactive and hands-on training, participants will learn what it takes to build local power and develop the leaders and member activists necessary to bring value to the membership, win issues, settle grievances, and bargain better contracts.
Locals are encouraged to send a team of participants; however, individuals are also invited to register. Please note that this class is limited to fifty participants.
