WORKLABR 2A03 - Unions in Action

3 unit(s)

How do unions work? How do they go about representing their members and mobilizing workers in the workplace and beyond? How do they grapple with the main issues facing workers, and renew their movement going forward? This course will explore the internal structure of unions, assess what unions do well and where they are less effective. Students will also learn how unions make decisions and try to influence policy-making through participatory exercises and a simulated labour convention.
