Organizing begins when healthcare workers start talking to each other about getting a voice on-the-job. It is legally protected to organize a union in your workplace. If you and trusted coworkers think organizing a union in your workplaces makes sense here are steps to take:
With an organizer's help you will go on to...
- Build a complete and accurate list of workers
- Identify & recruit key people
- Build to a supermajority of support
- Go public with organized power
- And lastly prepare for and win an election with the National Labor Relations Board!
