We Keep Us Safe: Workplace Organizing From The Ground Up

Ansel, Cadelba, Felix, and Reilly

Four hospital workers and SEIU members will share firsthand accounts of grassroots organizing at a large public hospital. From leading a system-wide campaign to divest from weapons manufacturers, to organizing “Know Your Rights” trainings in response to ICE threats, to building cross-departmental networks that can - and did - defend from external attacks on the workforce, these workers are demonstrating how to transform their workplace through collective action. Their efforts offer a powerful example of how workers can build organization and solidarity on the job - even in difficult conditions.
