How to Start a Union in Ten Steps (tags)
(below are the lessons taken from a successful organizing drive in 1997) 1) Be the best worker at your workplace If you are to influence your co-workers to join a union, you’d better already have their respect at work. This doesn’t mean that you must be the absolute best, but that you are a leader and rank among one of the best. This first step is the all-important foundation for your effort, directly or indirectly affecting EVERY other step toward forming a union. It helps also to be the best liked co-worker. Not that you need to be prom-king/queen popular, but that you are easily approachable, social, and generally kind. In being so, you’ll make your job of talking with your co-workers about a union – which constitutes 95% of the work of organizing — MUCH easier. If your trust is earned as a good worker and friend, you can better expect that your ideas will be not only better received, but kept away from management during the initial stage of secrecy.

KPFK: Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss (tags)
The new old forces now in charge of KPFK could not have found a manager more like Mark Shubb if they had gone out and cloned him. That, at least, is my opinion of one activist who knows them both, and has just announced his departure from IMC-LA, largely due to insularity and lack of vision that he attributes in part to Starr's influence.
