A $15,000,000 budget / 433 employees = $34,642 / person. I love the idea, I also think that a substantially greater budget would be required (even allowing for part time staff) to cover wages, healthcare, and other benefits

433 full and part time organizers. Training members as part time organizers is much more cost effective. You can easily have one full time organizer supervising a dozen trained part time member organizers. Secondly, I use $15m as a reference point but there is nothing magic about that number. The combined resources of American unions are in the tens of billions of dollars.

What if your company already provides everything you need, but they're ablest jerks? I'm actually unemployed, but wonder if this is a union fix or a CEO fix. BTW, the CEO wasn't an ablest jerk, it was the people under him that were, middle managers.
