Eat your union vegetables: Organizing a Public University with the UMaine Graduate Workers Union
So you wanna organize your workplace, but don't quite know where to start and what to expect? Today's episode might be helpful.
Today's show is a conversation with Andrea Tirrell, Nik Brocchini, and Eric Brown about their efforts to unionize graduate workers in the University of Maine System. All three are graduate workers at UMaine and key organizers of the recently public union drive at UMaine. We talk about early stage organizing conversations, partnering with the UAW, how state legislators can be leveraged in public sector unionization, and the positive impact they're already seeing on campus. I kept trying to trim this episode, but they were spittin' wisdom, so I just let the track run. I hope you enjoy.
Please throw us a rating and tell your friends so we can continue to connect great organizers to one another.
As always, you can get in touch at [email protected].
