S.2 #3 Bob Oedy - The Million $$ Organizer

On today’s show we  meet award winning author, podcast host and union organizer Bob Oedy.

Bob will share with us the personnel and informative experiences he has gathered over the last 19 years as a fulltime organizer for the IBEW.  

We’ll start todays conversation by learning about his introduction into the trades as an apprentice electrician, his time as a student at The National Labor College, and what ultimately led him onto a career as a union organizer.

Then, we’ll discover why he decided 20 years ago to write his first book, titled,
Bigger Labor; A Crash Course for Union Organizers.  

Next we’ll dig into a few thoughts from his most recent book, and discuss how his podcast
The Million Dollar Organizer is designed to make good organizers even better. 

Later we will discuss what role the Toastmasters International Organization has played in his life and why he feels mastering the art of public speaking and being an effective communicator can help your career no matter your job title.  

And we’ll end our conversation with Bob explaining why union member participation is now needed more than ever to maintain strong and healthy unions in order to protect our livelihoods and way of life. 

Work Safe, Work Smart and Stay Union Strong.
