Why Should Someone Join Your Union?
One-on-one conversations are the most effective way to share the importance of membership to fellow educators. When members speak about how their local makes a difference in their own work, community, and personal lives, they are an influential force in building power in the union.
Be ready to answer the question, "Why should I join our union?"
It is important to do some strategic thinking around what your local union is about so you can create a set of talking points to use in recruitment conversations. This means you'll need to go beyond generic points and highlight local wins that matter.
