In today’s episode, we’re getting some answers to the question of how to have an organizing conversation, especially when the stakes are high and retaliation is pretty likely. Our fearless leaders are Ed Blair and Benno Giammarinaro.

“Unite and Win: A Guide to Workplace Organizing” is a 13-part podcast series by the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC), produced in partnership with Haymarket Books.

This podcast is split up into two parts: an audiobook version of EWOC’s Unite & Win handbook and discussions with labor organizers across industries moderated by labor journalist and author Kim Kelly. These discussion episodes use real-world examples to illustrate the themes we raise in the handbook, including just how much a union can help us accomplish when we come together and fight.
