Online opportunities and books for union stewards and activists to learn with

Labor's Bookstore continues to produce and sell online helpful union steward and activist Zoom trainings. These will help guide union members through organizing, taking leadership positions, negotiating contracts, representing workers in grievances, building a voice for everyone in a union local, holding to our shared working-class values, and dealing with difficult matters like FMLA and LOTS more. They also have a blog at https://www.laborsbookstore.com/blogs/news




The United Electrical workers has a review of  Claiming the City: A Global History of Workers’ Fight for Municipal Socialism by labor historian Shelton Stromquist on their website. I have not read the book, but the review draws out some aspects of our labor and political history that are relevant today. The UE store has a number of useful books, and some of these serve well as introductions to labor and union history. I recommend Labor's Untold Story, Them and Us, and So Long, Partner.
