Union Member - here is your October 2025 e-newsletter (with updates since early September):
Showing Colleagues "What Solidarity Looks Like"
Our September "Meet the Activists" featured an affiliated healthcare union leader with a long history of showing up when his co-workers are in need. Share his story on social media and encourage fellow members to submit a nomination for a future spotlight
Tapping the Tools to "Keep Growing Density" *
This summer, local higher education affiliate activists attended our national union's annual divisional conference to focus on building power in a tough political climate. Learn more about the event and the strategies participants learned for organizing their colleagues and engaging their communities.
