What material do people have that's useful in organizing training? I'm looking for manuals used by unions and community organizations, handouts, curriculum, all that sort of stuff.

I'll pay postage, return anything people send me, and respect confidentiality. Can you post what you have here or send me a private message please?

I got TONNES of anti oppression type stuff on addressing sexism racism etc etc etc in binders in my apartmen. But somehow I don't think this is what you are looking for, and I really think we can probably do better on those subjects than the stuff I've got anyways.

yup , done.

This is really important. Anyone who can help should get on it. Nice one to Nate for initiating it.

EdWob, thanks but no that's not what I had in mind just now.
You got any CUPW training materials for members who come out for organizing drives and stuff?

Frankly in some respects I think the IWW is more successful than CUPW as far as organizing goes. At least as far as training and supporting organizers. By virtue of the sheer size CUPW is pulling from we have more successes, but the IWW punches way above its (almost non existant weight). I can see what I can track down though.

Jesus EdWob I don't know whether to laugh or cry. (Sorry, bit of a bad day.) Anyhow, anything you can send is great.

Can someone please hook me up with some information, as well? I'm doing a lot of research on organizing, but the truth is that I'm wandering a bit aimlessly. Even a single book would be fantastic, or any .pdfs, or anything on organizing at work.
