Videos on workplace issues
and topics for local union education.

Turn It Around!

Issues affecting every UE Steward (investigating, interviewing, checking records and organizing) come alive in this excellent and easy-to-use training video.

Called Turn It Around, workers in a warehouse take on the issue of unfair treatment by a boss who's bucking for a promotion. You'll see-and talk about-how they investigate the issue, deal with conflicting contract clauses, and decide on a course of action. It's a very effective look at how issues can be handled on the job.

Produced by the IBT (the Teamsters), we modified this self-running workshop for use in UE locals. Complete with discussion guide. Also available with Spanish subtitles.
