Every workplace is different, but that does not mean you cannot form a union there.

AGITATE EDUCATE OPERATE

Because you are more than a tool for labour.

HEY DO YOU LIKE BLASEBALL AND WANT TO LEARN HOW TO FORM A UNION IN YOUR WORKPLACE?

Blaseball is a game about community organising and working together against evil forces, and what epitomises that more than getting together with your fellow workers and taking control of your livelihood together?

With this in mind, the Houston Spies will be running two workplace organising training workshops based on those made by the Industrial Workers of the World with the aim of providing an introduction to creating a union in your workplace to oppose the cruelty of wage labour.

When: December 11th 2020 at 4pm-9pm GMT

January 2nd 2021 at 7pm-12am GMT
