A New Kind of Unionism Workshop

On December 4th, more than 40 Pittsburgh area activists came together for an important discussion on new models of unionism and union organizing in our community.  The discussion, which was a precursor to the formation of Fight Back Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh-based chapter of the United Steelworkers touched on Steelworkers legacy and history, historic big-tent models for union organizing from the IWW to the CIO, and current models for worker organization outside the traditional NLRB framework.
