Register now for People Power class

The Labor Education Service is offering a skills course Dec. 5 on “People Power: Building Union Strength Through Member Engagement.” Deadline for registration is Dec. 2.

This session is a reprise of last year’s successful class, which drew from multiple unions, public and private employees alike, and explored organizing and growing member involvement. It traces the challenges and lessons encountered as unions have moved from a “business model” of unionism toward practices embracing member involvement and relationship building.

The class will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5, on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota. Tuition is $50. To register, call 612-624-5020 or email the LES office.

If you have questions about the class itself, feel free to contact the instructor, Russell Raczkowski at 612-301-7705 or at by email.

The Labor Education Service offers a slate of Labor Studies Skills Courses on the “nuts and bolts” of workplace rights and collective bargaining. View the full schedule on the LES website.
