New workshops aim to invigorate divisions
Mobilization training gears up!

By MARGARET MESSER
As contract negotiations and statewide campaigns progress, we must have the membership informed and ready to get active. Many divisions are fully mobilized and have started working on local campaigns, as well as becoming involved in statewide campaigns.

We need to continue to internally organize and educate our membership.

In order to better prepare our fully mobilized divisions for these initiatives, we encourage our divisions to expand their knowledge of mobilization’s power by attending various workshops offered through our Mobilization Department in conjunction with other PEF departments. We are committed to continue division-level educational opportunities.

Below is a sample listing of workshops that can be accessed by your division:
• Orienting Your Mobilizers;
• Updating Your Workplace Charting and Mapping;
• Testing Your Mobilization Network;
• Selecting Issues for Local Work-Place Campaigns;
• Developing a Mobilization Campaign;
• Using Mobilization to Help Resolve L-M Issues;
• Running Effective Meetings;
• Communicating our Message: The Use of Flyers, Newsletters, E-Mail, etc.;
• Developing Allies: Building Community Coalitions;
• Solidarity Works!: The Use of Social Events in Building the Union; and
• Recruiting Volunteers.

We are also able to tailor workshops depending on the regional or divisional needs. These trainings can be held after work, or on weekends, evenings or lunch hours.

Please call the Mobilization Department —
Margaret Messer, assistant director of mobilization, Denise Young or Kim Loccisano, Mobilization training specialists at 1-800-342-4306, ext. 425.
