Building on our Leadership Identification and Getting Members Involved best practices workshops, this workshop trains union leaders in how to map and chart your workplace. Mapping and charting are the accepted standards for identifying workplace leaders, documenting one-on-one conversations, locating leaders and stewards in worksites, involving members, and figuring out how to build power on the job. As participants begin to map and chart their workplaces, they will identify power relationships, opportunities for organizing, relationships and networks on the shop floor, and gather information to build your union or workers’ organization on the job. This workshop is designed to be combined with other “Basics” and “Best Practices” workshops.
