Steward tip for the week of March 21, 2011

Ask Nonmembers Directly to Join

In survey after survey, union members in open shops say they joined because someone they knew approached them. And nonmembers say the leading reason they don’t join is because no one ever directly asks them to. No matter how effective your plan may be, it won’t accomplish your objective -- getting nonmembers to join up -- unless you ask them directly, one-on-one, to join.
