MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZING

The IUPAT uses innovative and exciting organizing strategies to ensure that our union maintains a large, diverse and active membership – which is crucial to maintaining the goals of the IUPAT:

  1. Securing Safe Workplaces;
  2. Ensuring Fair Wages and Benefits; and
  3. Cultivating Institutional and Political Support.

The IUPAT Organizing Department helps the union’s local district councils develop their own strategic organizing plans and helps to coordinate campaigns that are regional, national and international in scope.

To assist with its mission, the Organizing Department conducts a variety of organizing training for leaders, staff and members, including:

  • COMET Classes
  • Mark Breslin Seminars
  • Mike Lucas Seminars
  • “Closing the Deal” Seminars
  • STORM Training
