You and your coworkers are the union. The first step is for you to take the lead in building the organization you need and deserve.
You do this by forming a committee of campus workers and recruiting your coworkers to pledge their membership.
Ask your coworkers to join you!- Work together to draft a mission statement.
- Adopt organizational by-laws - UCW will provide a template to work from.
- Form a Steering Committee of at least 5 people.
- Set up financial infrastructure by paying dues, setting up a bank account, and creating your first budget.
- Talk with as many campus workers as possible to build your base and choose your first campaign.
- Start your first campaign and grow your union while achieving victories that improve workers’ lives.
UCW members and organizers will be standing by to support you in getting organized! We are made stronger by sharing and strategizing together.
