Member-Organizers Shape Bottom-up Campaign by Dave Coker, Labor Notes
Public support was shown in the form of pins, buttons, lanyards, and bright yellow CWA hats. On any given day during the drive, 80 to 90 percent of the workforce showed management and their fellow workers that they supported the union all the way. This support was also shown when every forklift in the plant ended up with a new CWA keychain in the ignition.
During the campaign, workers organized their own network of literature distribution at the plant gates as well as in break rooms and restrooms. Not only did workers hand out literature given to them by CWA organizers, they also wrote and distributed leaflets that organizers never saw until after the campaign was won.------------------------------------------- posted 6:54 AM :: reference link ::
