I work at a non profit and we just won union recognition and are slowly moving towards first contract negotiations and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I’M DOING. Would love to chat with some folks about their experiences, especially if you’ve negotiated around contracts/grants/etc.
Trots were big on “industrializing” which is going into buisness unions to improve them. Labor Notes is actually partially the result of this movement.
So a lot of our collective knowledge about relating to larger unions is from trot experiments.
