CommonBound 2016

July 8, 2016 - July 10, 2016

We will be attending CommonBound 2016 in Buffalo in July.

We want to hear from you as we prepare for the CommonBound Track: “Building a 21st Century Labor Movement.”

We are organizers exploring new models for worker organizing in the 21st century. We are looking for your great successes — and your great failures too. Are you working to create a new vision for worker justice and organizing? Have you invested in new models that worked? Have you taken risks that failed, but taught you valuable lessons in how the labor movement can and should be innovating right now?

We want to hear from you. We want your case studies about new co-op and hybrid union models. We want your lessons learned from attempting to harness new technology and new democratic forms to build worker power. We want your visionary ideas for what worker organizing can look like as things like the on-demand economy change the landscape of work. We want to know about how these models can scale and grow beyond small-scale pilot projects, and about unlikely alliances and intersectional approaches to labor and worker organizing.

Visit theĀ “Building a 21st Century Labor Movement” page to learn more and for contact information. Share your story!
