Other Organizing Skills

 


Members Are The Best Organizers!

I'm already a member of SEIU 1021. Why should I care about organizing new members?

Organizing non-union workers protects us from being pitted against them. Employers everywhere are trying to contract out work to cheaper labor, which results in a race to the bottom for today's working families. Organizing those with whom we would otherwise be competing protects OUR wages and benefits by improving THEIRS.
ROC
Doesn't the union have organizers? Why am I needed?

You are our best and most credible voice. When non-union workers hear from someone who actually works a union job, they get it. It means more to them when they hear from people who actually work in a job like their own. This is why we need you to get involved!

For more information, contact Mary Sanders at 510/432-6671 or Karen Ridley at  510/465-0120 ext. 193, or email us.


Who is the ROC? The Reserve Organizing Corps.

ROC

We are SEIU 1021 union members from all over Northern California. We do the work in cities, counties, schools, public agencies and nonprofits.

We take time off from our jobs and travel in California and throughout the U.S. helping workers organize a union.

We find that most people don’t know much about unions, and when we tell our stories people can relate to our experience as workers. When we tell them what it’s like to work in a union shop and have good benefits, they really get it.

Join the ROC banner

> Participate in organizing campaigns
> Talk to workers one on one
> Receive the training you need
> Use your experience & know-how to build the union

Work as part of a team in actual campaigns talking to other workers about your experiences—about the difference a union can make. ROC members receive training, support and encouragement from SEIU leaders and staff.

"When I talk to non-union workers about my experience working a union job, they really get it. It means more to them when they hear from people who actually work in jobs like theirs!"

For union members, “organizing the unorganized” is the most effective form of job security! Organizing non-union workers eliminates non-union competition that threatens our wages, benefits, and working conditions.

How often do we hear bosses say during contract negotiations they can’t afford to improve wages, benefits or job security because their non-union competitors have lower costs?”

As long as there are employers in our communities who run non-union shops, our wages, benefits and working conditions are threatened.
