In this workshop you will learn and practice techniques for mapping your union and workplace and explore how to integrate member maps into strategic planning or organizing campaigns.
Drawing on Kevin Millsip’s “Go, Listen, Build” theory for member organizing, in order to “Go” to workers, we must first know who they are, where they work, and what they care about.
Participants will leave the workshop with a basic map of their membership and strategies on how to integrate this map into their union’s workplan and strategies.
