Today, International President Costa closed out the final day of our new “Train the Trainer” program for our ATU International Organizers staff this week.
“This has been a great training to give you strategies and tools to help our Locals recruit and train their own members to be activists in their Locals for contract campaigns, organizing drives, and other actions,” Costa told the Organizers. “Thank you for the important role you play in helping our Locals fight for the rights of our members. Now you can take what you’ve learned here on the road to engage more of our members for the fights and challenges our Locals face.”
Over the past few days, the training focused on teaching our Organizers new skills and techniques to better engage and mobilize our Local members through role-playing scenarios, interactive discussions, and other exercises. The International plans to bring this new innovative training to our Locals.
