Abstract

[Excerpt] Membership involvement is important to help fight for good contracts, organize new members, and solve problems on the job. But most workers aren’t born union activists, and many don’t think their participation makes much difference. To convince them to get involved we have to show them that their participation will be worthwhile – and may even be enjoyable.
