This guide has the basics to help you organize a majority, strike-ready tenant union in your building, negotiate with your landlord, and win your tenant union’s collective demands.

We’ll cover how to: 
1) Talk to your neighbors 
2) Build a core organizing team 
3) Have a meeting in your building
4) Create shared demands 
5) Formalize your tenant union by signing union cards 
6) Go public with your union 
7) Escalate! 
8) Negotiate/Bargain with your landlord 
9) Win and maintain control and dignity over our homes 

As you start to talk to your neighbors and organize around core demands, the Tenant Bloc is here to support with training and on-the-ground support. You can reach us anytime at info@tenantbloc.org or complete our intake at https://act.tenantbloc.org/tenant-union to set up a 1:1 with Tenant Bloc and your organizing team.
