From strike support to training organizers and supporting union drives, DSA members are helping to build a fighting labor movement.
“The end of the Bernie campaign morphed into a summer salting project”. Salts — labor organizers who seek jobs at nonunion workplaces — have traditionally been paid by unions.

YDSA has gone campus by campus to recruit graduates into salting at union organizing hotspots like Amazon and Starbucks.
