Organizing Committee
Committee Co-Chairs: Heather Lee and Stephen Von Sychowski
The COPE 378 Organizing Committee was established in 2011 with the following purposes:
- Create an ongoing resource of volunteer activists to assist where and when the union needs special organizing efforts on short notice
- Provide training and activities for union activists to learn and improve the union's expertise in new state-of-the-art social media techniques and member-to-member communcations.
- Be at the call of the President to participate with any other committees of the union as well as with any bargaining committees from any bargianing units.
- Recruit and engage new activists and staff to work together as team members.
- Provide strike support activities assisting picket lines and creating events to help engage members in their struggles (both internally with members and externally in the general labour movement).
- Help to keep organized members engaged with their chosen union for longer periods of time during difficult organizing efforts.
- Provie more inter-bargaining unit contact and cohesion for the union and all of its activists.
