ORGANIZING

Organizing is a strategy developed by US-based unions in order to spur employees to be active and to gain new union members. The big Anglo-American unions have developed "organizing academies" where professional activists ("organizers") are trained. Their job is then to attend low-wage companies with poor working conditions and low rates of unionization and to organise a struggle together with the employees.
