Task · part of 2. Reach a union or employee organization
2(a). Find out what the organization does
Required
The straightforward half of the visit, and the one that a website will largely answer before you go. Doing that reading first leaves the meeting free for the parts a website cannot give you.
Notes and warnings
Note. DO THIS PART BEFORE YOU MAKE CONTACT, NOT DURING IT. Most of what an organization does is on its own website, and reading it first means the time you get with an actual person can go on 2(b), which is the part no website can answer. Turning up already knowing roughly what they do also makes the conversation in 2(b) a great deal better.
