Hey all! Does anyone have any good direct action tactic guides on starting unions? I am considering starting one, but I am lost as to where to begin in terms of the actual process. Thanks in advance!

    It really depends on where youelive, but I cansgive two pieces of advice:

    1. Talk to your coworkers! Organizing is a bottom-up approach and organizers need to have the trust of their coworkers and listen like 80% of the time they’re organizing.
    2. Search for already existing groups in your country that are actively helping folks organize! You’ll not be able to do this without help and a structured approach! A good first step is looking if the IWW (the Wobblies) are active in your country. They give organizing workshops.

    Here’s a list of reading recommendations:

    Edit: I want to stress how important a structured approach is for this. Doing it by intuition alone is very ineffective and might get you in trouble, once your bosses know what’s up.
