Basics & Beyond Union Workshop: October 14th

Following our successful union workshops earlier in the semester, we are going to be holding a few more of these sessions in the coming weeks. Topics will vary and so will the formats, but the bottom line will be consistent: our union workshops are about our members learning more about unions and the TAA, who we are and what we do, how folks can be involved, and the like. The workshops are mostly seminar-style, with presentations and interactive participation from attendees.

We have a workshop scheduled for Wednesday, October 14th at 5 PM. The workshop will be at the TAA Office. You can expect some free food and beverage and meeting grads from across the university — in addition to the awesome program on union basics and beyond.

WHAT: Basics & Beyond Union Workshop
WHEN: Wednesday, October 14th, 5:00 PM
WHERE: TAA Office, 254 W. Gilman St. (above American Apparel)

What do we mean by “Basics & Beyond”? Well, it’s like a primer workshop for union members, new and continuing, to learn about the fundamentals of our union. This includes a bit on what unions are and what they do, some things on the TAA as a union and how we do what we do, and some discussion of issues facing us as student-workers, unionists, and as a union.

The workshops are a great opportunity to plug in to your union from the ground level. So whether you’re brand new to the TAA or if you’ve been around for a while — even if you’ve been active — there’s a lot of good stuff in the workshop. We definitely encourage, nay invite, you to attend.

With any questions, please contact our Co-Presidents, Katie Lindstrom and Peter Rickman.
