Platform Pillars

Built by members, for members so participation is possible for everyone.

Governance & Representation

  • Seat a Representative Congress with one seat per unit and a proportional lower chamber for members.
  • Open year-round bylaw reform and publish clear officer roles, metrics, and implementation trackers.
  • Codify ethics, compliance, and inclusive raffles so benefits reach every dues-paying member.

Stewards & Access at Work

  • One trained steward per department and shift; post coverage map and contacts.
  • Simple intake: hotline/web form; 24-hour acknowledgment and weekly progress updates.
  • Monthly huddles; tools and QR posters to coordinate and escalate issues.

Legal & Grievance Power

  • Log every case with deadlines, remedies, and member sign-off before closure.
  • Use ULPs, arbitration, and targeted litigation when contract language isn’t enough.
  • Rights clinics (EN/ES) and hotline; review panel before drops or arbitration.

Technology & Accessibility

  • Secure member portal for contracts, minutes, forms, and calendars; single sign-on.
  • Hybrid meetings by default with captions and ADA accommodations.

Political & Legislative Program

  • Simple ways to participate: testimony, canvassing, turnout, with posted criteria.

Organizing & Bargaining
