Overworked? Underpaid? Frustrated with your boss?This guide, based on the collective experience of organizers and workers in non-unionized workplaces, is a critical tool to help yo u and your coworkers organize for justice at work. Unite and Win covers the core elements of organizing at work -- developing an organizing committee, having organizing conversations, taking collective action, and inoculating yourselves against the boss's inevitable response.The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) provides support and training to non-union workers organizing for better working conditions, with a goal of building a stronger, worker-led labor movement. EWOC was founded in March 2020 as a joint project of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE). Since its founding, EWOC has trained and supported thousands of workers who want better working conditions through their Foundational Training Program. This book is a companion to that program, along with other online and video-based resources. "Talking to your co-workers is the first step to gaining power on the job. When the pandemic hit, EWOC started helping workers build unity and power on the job, from bus drivers to baristas. This book is for anyone thinking, 'We need a union around here!' It helps you get started and figure out what to do next." --Luis Feliz Leon, staff writer and organizer, Labor Notes The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) is an organization supporting worker self-organization. It was founded in 2020 by the United Electrical and Radio Machine Workers (UE) and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).Daphna Thier is the labor educator on staff at EWOC, where she organizes trainings for hundreds of workers new to organizing each year.
