OEA's Conference for Bargaining & Organizing

Please join us at this year’s fall Conference for Bargaining & Organizing. This is a day-long conference that covers organizing and bargaining skills that will help you build a strong union at the workplace and win at the bargaining table. We’ll explore what it means to use an organizing approach to empower our members and win for our students and communities. Whether you’re new to union activism or are an experienced union activist, there’s something here for you!
