The organizing in a union never ends, and that is why we’ve decided to go more in depth in the topic of Internal Organizing. This organizing does not strictly mean official organizing endorsed by the union itself; we will begin our focus on rank-and-file organizing. We will touch on the topic of gatekeepers within unions, as will discuss just some of the many areas in which the rank-and-file members can be active in organizing around.
The Harry Bridges School of Labor aims to educate the workers of America on the strength of unions and to foster a class-conscious workforce through Labor United Educational League. We aim to connect the struggles of the past with the struggles of today to empower the labor movement to transform from their present hopeless defensive fight into an aggressive attack upon Capital. We plan to empower workers with knowledge regardless of industry or type of work, bringing all workers to a class-oriented trade union movement.
