A Better Miami in Four Steps
| Step 1: Assess Faculty Support |  | Faculty conduct one-on-one conversations with colleagues to identify common concerns and challenges, and gauge support for unionization. |
| Step 2: Build Community & Vision |  | Faculty meet individually and in small groups to share ideas for improving compensation and working conditions, while simultaneously creating an organizational structure and vision. |
| Step 3: Engage Legal Process |  | Activists work to meet the statutory criteria for union recognition or certification. Typically, faculty are required to sign ‘authorization cards’, expressing their desire to form a union. |
| Step 4: Win Certification |  | An election or ‘card check’ process is conducted to gain legal certification for the union. Once the union is certified, bargaining of your first union contract commences. |
