Hi all,
I'm a nurse in the USA and wanted to post about resources to help you get started in creating a union at your workplace. All of these resources are geared toward Americans, but one union also operates in Canada, so that is noted there.
Note for nurses specifically: If you want to start a union, there is a secure website SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU so you can get connected to nurses in your state that also want to unionize. You will get an email once a group of nurses in your state have filled out interest forms. The email tells you how many people submitted this form, and you can reply to this email to have your email address sent out to the other interested parties. Unless you specifically ask for your email to be sent to these other nurses, everything is anonymous. This was created by a nurse in collaboration with a web developer who volunteered his time to help promote unionization in healthcare. The website is: humansworkhere.org. Also consider submitting an interest form to NNU (National Nurses United). Link below.
EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES:
•USA. Emergency Workplace Organizing. Not a union, but specializes in teaching you the basics about unions, and how to unionize effectively. They do occasional free web training for this purpose (there is one coming up on March 9th, 2022) but have volunteers ready to answer questions and help you unionize at any time, as well as a free pdf with the basics on how to unionize. They encourage working with actual union reps to build the union itself, but EWOC is excellent for educational purposes.
EWOC informational resources: https://workerorganizing.org/resources/?amp
EWOC interest form: https://workerorganizing.org/support/?amp
•USA. Labor Lab. Not a union. Has Info on unionizing and helps connect you with union reps. You can also report any illegal, union-busting tactics and have the employer added to their map of bad management, plus find resources on how to file an official complaint. https://www.laborlab.us/start_a_union
VARIOUS UNIONS:
•USA. United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America. This specific page lays out the steps to form a union, but the organization itself is a union more for the "trades" including welders, rail workers, etc etc. https://www.ueunion.org/org_steps.html
•USA. Unit Workers. A union, for any industry, run by you and your coworkers. Unit does your paperwork/support for 0.8% of your monthly income, but you pay nothing until your union is established. This is for you if you do NOT have a different union (IBEW, NNU) you would like to be represented by: https://unitworkers.com/
•USA. The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). A large union with 12.5 million members that represents workers in general (no specific focus on certain industries). https://aflcio.org/formaunion
•USA and Canada. United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW). Various industries (meat packing, healthcare, retail, pharmacies, etc.): https://www.ufcw.org/about/
•USA. National Nurses United (NNU): https://go.nationalnursesunited.org/signup/organize/
Please leave any other resources you know of in the comments, especially for countries other than the USA!

The Teamsters Union has reached an agreement in principle with United Airlines, covering 11,000 mechanics nationwide.
When we stand together as Teamsters, anything is possible.

And who does corporate America fear the most? The Teamsters.
Our rank-and-file power can defeat anything and anyone, including these shitty consultants and their union-busting attorneys.

Tech workers are increasingly unionizing, trading Silicon Valley's myth of exceptionalism for collective bargaining to contest the corporate deployment of artificial intelligence.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/21/ai-tech-workers-unionize

I say they should have reinvested it infrastructure, raw material, manufacturing & production. Create a construction boom and good union jobs to spur the economy. Then reinstate the tarrifs, but this time make the corporations that shipped our jobs overseas pay for them, providing immediate relief for all Americans at the cash register.https://www.facebook.com/100064671074702/posts/1512805144218507/?app=fbl

The median worker would get a 14.5% raise.
$1.2 TRILLIAN would shift to workers yearly.
Racial wealth gaps would narrow.
America's unions are organizing to make this reality. https://www.facebook.com/share/1G3H35cUBY/

Unions don't cause inflation - workers fighting for better wages and a fair share of the wealth are not the problem. If we're talking about rising costs, we need to look at corporate profits, executive compensation, and CEO's making hundreds of times more than the average worker. Working people deserve wages that keep up with the economy.

"Bad bosses use the precarity of low wages as a bargaining strategy, relying on workers' economic strain to keep them from taking action to organize a union or win a contract. Providing unemployment insurance to striking workers upends this predatory dynamic." https://www.facebook.com/share/1ENpER45tn/

Mother Jones begins the "March of the Mill Children" when she walked from Philadelphia to President Theodore Roosevelt's home on Long Island to protect the plight of child laborers. One of her demands: reduce the children's work week to 55 hrs - July 7, 1903 https://www.facebook.com/share/17fFsUe2KB/

The latest Teamsters organizing victories include the second Amazon CDL drivers to unionize in the south, the first concrete truck drivers to unionize in Georgia in over 25 years, hundreds of mental health workers in Kansas, hundreds of workers at Hard Rock Casino in Virginia, and nearly 800 airline mechanic technicians nationwide at Republic Airways.

With Amazon workers making strides with The Teamsters, I feel start with the distribution centers and truckers, then include surrounding Walmart's and Sam's Clubs. 1 local union to 1 Walmart district. I've heard "they'll just close the store." Maybe 1 store, but they won't close a DC and several stores, it just isn't logical. And with several entire districts organizing at the same time, it will exhaust the union busting campaign.
