How to Organize a Walkout
Channel: Labor Notes
Date: 01/03/2019

After laying dormant for decades, teacher unions across the country surprised everyone by organizing walkouts for higher pay and better benefits--even in states where striking is not legal! 

Labor Notes organizer Chris Brooks facilitated a video conference call with Emily Comer, a West Virginia teacher activist, and Rebecca Garelli, an Arizona teacher activist, to discuss how they organized local and statewide walkouts--and how the same might be possible in Tennessee. 

This call was organized for Tennessee teacher activists on February 28, 2019.
