International Organizers will be traveling to locals across the country to train volunteers who would like to become a part of TWU organizing. The Organizing Department held its first VMO session on August 11 at Local 252 on Long Island. Director of Organizing Frank McCann said, “It is important to mobilize our membership to get involved with organizing and also to be more involved with their locals.”
The Department hopes to hold a VMO session at a different local at least once a month. Volunteers are trained to organize workers at companies similar to theirs or within their communities. To get involved look for more information on twu.org/VMO or call 1-888-JOIN-TWU to help other people gain the same rights that the TWU helps to provide for our members.
