Ever wondered how to form a union at work?
This EWOC (Emergency Worker Organizing Committee, a project of the DSA and UE) training series will help you and your co-workers build your union from the ground up. EWOCS is an amazing organization that provides free training for workers from all industries (including, of course, ABA workers). In this training series, you'll hear from both experienced and new organizers who are organizing their own workplaces. Trainings embrace a popular education model, beginning with practical shared experiences before participants dive into small discussion groups with participants across the globe.
It is highly encouraged that folks commit to the entire training series, as each module provides a stepwise lesson with practical action you can take to organize your workplace.
PLEASE NOTE: EWOCS is not affiliated with the ABA Workers Union. EWOCS is a project of the DSA and UE, and is an incredible volunteer worker-led organization that supports aspiring and experienced organizers alike.
Starts January 6th. Registration closes 12/30/2026.
