Join us for this July for a totally revamped VEA Summer Organizing Institute! Learn from locals around the Commonwealth who have made MAJOR organizing wins this year, and come back home with some new, innovative, and proven strategies and tactics to apply to your own work. Space is limited and registration is required. Come together with your union brothers and sisters and learn together!
• Building a Strong Organizing Committee
• Issue Organizing for Transportation Workers
• Office Assistants at the Bargaining Table
• Union-Community Alliances
• What it Takes to Win: Campaign Overviews from Albemarle and Montgomery County
A full list of panels will b e available in July.
During this role play scenario, you’ll get to practice organizing with other VEA members to win better working conditions. In this intense, real-life based simulation, we condense a months-long campaign into just a few hours so that when you return to your local, you’ll be prepared for whatever curveballs the school division throws at you.
Envision the future of Virginia’s public schools. Tell us how you believe w e can use union power to achieve our goals.
