Transforming Conflict into Solidarity & Member Activism

In this course, participants will learn that conflict isn’t always negative but that it is the outcome of the conflict that is negative or positive.

The course teaches participants how to listen to people involved in a conflict, get to the root causes of a conflict, and how to coach people involved in a conflict, to identify shared interests.

Participants learn how to use those shared interests to help people involved in a conflict find solutions and turn the conflict and shared interests into union activism.

In this course, participants will learn the three-step approach to effective member engagement (Go, Listen, Build). Each participant will leave with a worksite specific plan for creating an engaged and active membership.
