The Volunteer Organizing Committee

An active, representative organizing committee is the most important element in a successful campaign. It is the foundation upon which a strong union is built.

The inside organizing committee provides the leadership and inspiration to win and sustain majority support among the workforce. These are the people who are in the workplace every day, combating management lies and rumors, teaching people what a union really is, showing people that they don't have to be afraid to stand up to management.

Except in very small units, the organizer cannot talk to every worker on a daily basis. But the organizer can be in daily contact with the committee. And the committee can be in daily contact with the rest of the workforce. So with a committee, the face-to-face communications so necessary to win is possible.
