Big things happen from small, incremental changes. That's the case with union activism, too. As a union member, what small changes will you make to impact BIG change in the labor movement? Maybe you will engage in one-on-ones with your coworkers to explain how membership in the union benefits us all. Or maybe you can resolve to do something as simple as reading your union contract cover-to-cover and get familiar with your workplace rights. There's a lot that OCSEA members can do to make a big difference at work. What will your union resolutions be to impact BIG change this year, and for years to come? See below for some inspiring resolution ideas:
