How to Get Involved

Organizing works best when it is thoughtful, respectful, and protected. Below are safe, lawful ways associates can participate in the organizing effort.

Know Your Rights First Read the FAQ

Step 1: Learn & Stay Informed

The first step in organizing is understanding your rights and the process. An informed group is harder to intimidate and easier to protect.

  • Read the Know Your Rights page
  • Understand what “protected concerted activity” means
  • Ask questions — there are no expectations or obligations

Step 2: Talk With Coworkers

Organizing begins with conversation. These discussions should be respectful, factual, and focused on shared concerns.

Best practices

  • Talk during breaks or off the clock
  • Listen more than you speak
  • Focus on common experiences, not rumors
  • Respect different opinions and comfort levels

Avoid

  • Pressuring or arguing with coworkers
  • Using work devices or work messaging systems
  • Making promises or guarantees
  • Spreading unverified information

Step 3: Connect Privately

If you’re interested in learning more or participating further, connecting privately helps protect everyone involved.

Why privacy matters

Early organizing is about education and trust. Private communication helps ensure conversations remain voluntary, respectful, and protected.

Private Contact Anonymous Submission

Use personal contact methods only. Avoid work email, work phones, or store devices.

Step 4: Participate at Your Comfort Level

There is no single “right” way to participate. Organizing is voluntary, and associates choose their level of involvement.

  • Staying informed and talking with coworkers
  • Attending off-the-clock meetings
  • Helping share accurate information
  • Providing feedback or concerns anonymously
  • Supporting coworkers who want to learn more

Important Reminders

  • Participation is voluntary — pressure has no place here
  • Respectful behavior strengthens credibility
  • Stick to facts and personal experiences
  • Document anything that feels retaliatory
  • Follow normal workplace rules while organizing
