Union members, Union representatives and elected officers have an important role to play in developing and implementing contract campaigns that win demands for workers. Whether you are new to your role or you have been engaged in contract fights for years, we invite you to learn from experienced leaders in our Labor Movement. This class will introduce students to practices found in successful contract campaigns. Guest speakers will focus on how they built power and won demands using various strategies including Direct Action, creating demands through workers’ stories and political pressure. At the end of the 6-week course, students will have produced a contract campaign plan. The class will be a mixture of presentation, discussion and small group work.

 Contributes toward completion of the Rutgers LEARN - Union Leadership Academy (ULA) certificate.
