Toronto IWW is pleased to announce opening of registration for the Spring 2012 edition of Organizing 101, our crash course on grassroots, direct action-driven solidarity unionism.

Dates: May 12th and 13th, 2012

Location: Downtown Toronto in an accessible location

This is a two day course on building power in your workplace from the bottom up. It focuses on techniques for building a committee of workers who are confident and capable of addressing issues in the workplace, and for overcoming obstacles like worker apathy, anxiety, and the bosses’ counter-organizing efforts. The course is free/donation, and is open to everyone –so please forward to anyone who might be interested!

Do I have to be a member of the IWW to attend? Absolutely not! The skills built in this workshop are useful to anyone interested in building power on their job whether it is in the context of an IWW campaign, an independent union, the mainstream labour movement or another formation.

We’re starting at 9am on Saturday the 12th and 10am on Sunday the 13th. There will be a social event Saturday night. Attendance for the full two days of the workshop is encouraged.

Food will be provided, and child care will be provided if required.

Registration at least 2 weeks in advance is mandatory.
