GAILS's campaign volunteers sign-up
We want to invite you to get involved in a new Organise Now campaign that moves from supporting workers who reach out to us, to actively building a campaign at a company: GAIL’s! We’ve chosen GAIL’s because it is a non-union hospitality chain. It is expanding rapidly and there is leverage that workers can build both in-store and in the supply chain. The aim of the campaign is as follows: to develop a worker campaign at GAIL’s related to pay and conditions, to support GAIL’s workers building power in the workplace, to develop a trade union structure to support GAIL’s workers bargaining and negotiating with the employer, and to seek recognition of BFAWU at GAIL’s
To do this, we need to speak to workers and build public support. Our aim is to do as many GAIL’s workplace visits as possible, aiming to build relationships and understand the issues in the workplace. We will use novel social media targeting alongside this to build up contacts at GAIL’s. We then need experienced coaches who can tailor their support to GAIL’s workers. Once all this is in place, we will go public with a worker-led campaign. To make this campaign a success, we need volunteers with experience like you. Do you want to get involved in unionising GAIL’s?
Sign up below for our first meeting at 6pm, Thursday 12th of September
