AFL-CIO Union Organizer Training

The APWU encourages union members who want to become organizers or sharpen their organizing skills to attend training offered by the AFL-CIO Organizing Institute or the National Labor College.

“Every local should have at least one trained organizer on-site,” says Organization Director Frank A. Romero. “This type of training makes it possible to increase a local’s membership strength to the maximum level. It’s worth the investment.”

The National Labor College offers courses that teach the basics of campaign tactics and strategy to potential organizers and assesses participant skills. Housing and food are provided.

The AFL-CIO Organizing Institute is a selective program that includes two-day member trainings and three-day trainings for organizers.
