Non-profits, Union Organizing & Independent Unions

At: 835 Larkin St. @Myrtle, bet. O’Farrell & Geary, SF (Note: The location changed)

Non-profit and NGO unionization is the fastest growing militant wing of the labor movement. Despite being ignored by the left media, these new mostly self-organized independent unions are taking on the “due gooder” myth of long hours, low wages and bad bosses—and they’re winning. Panelists include current and former non-profit & NGO workers and union staff union organizers.
