There are so many different ways to get involved with your union! Below find a list of the existing committees working to build a strong movement for Tulane non-tenure track faculty.
Organizing Committee
The Organizing Committee (or the OC) is the beating heart of our union. The work of the OC is to organize our membership through consistent communication and relationship-building with individual members. While we continue to work towards our first contract, which will establish a formal structure, the Organizing Committee serves as a decision-making body and contributes to the development of the strategic vision of our union. A strong union has an inclusive and representational Organizing Committee. All TWU members are eligible to attend OC meetings and/or join the OC at any time.
You should consider joining the OC if you enjoy getting to know your colleague and talking to them about the importance of collective power at your workplace! Reach out at tulaneworkersunited@gmail.com.
Communications Committee
The Communications Committee is responsible for drafting and distributing our communications strategy. They put out the newsletters you receive, design the posts for social media, respond to media requests, and develop a big picture strategy to make sure TWU is easy to engage with and visible! Communications is a critically important part of our union. They make sure that members can stay informed and involved, a necessary part of any democratic and active movement!
You should join the Communications Committee if you are passionate about keeping other informed, like to write or do graphic design, and understand the importance of building a narrative that keeps our membership connected to their movement! Reach out at tulaneworkersunited@gmail.com.
