Liz Ryan is not just some HR professional - she quit the corporate HR culture and started her own company, The Human Workplace. I follow her on LinkedIn and she has a lot of great information and her attitude about HR is very refreshing: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizryan

From her bio (emphasis mine):

>I was a Fortune 500 Human Resources SVP for eons. I've launched HR departments for several successful startups. While I was building HR functions from the ground up, I first questioned and then rewrote the practices for HR, recruiting and leadership in organizations.

>My vision for a workplace focused on people became the Human Workplace in 2012.

>Human Workplace is a publishing, coaching and consulting firm whose mission is to reinvent work for people.

>Our teaching and speaking, writing and artwork coalesce to turn conventional leadership, employee communication, recruitment and HR on its ear. The future of work is human, and Human Workplace employers use our curriculum, tools, coaching and private consultation to re-launch their cultures in the 21st century mode, to meet the challenges of the new-millennium workplace.

>I started writing about the workplace in 1997, with a column for the Chicago Sun-Times. Now you can find my stories and artwork here on LinkedIn, on Forbes, TIME, Business Week, Kiplinger's Finance, Yahoo!, Inc., Huffington Post, Denver Post, Harvard Business Review and other publications.

>We launched Human Workplace to teach the practices that I've been speaking and writing about for years. Human Workplace is also a global movement to rehumanize work, with over 450,000 members.

Here is a book about it and them https://www.audible.com/pd/Democracy-in-Chains-Audiobook/B072BXLQNG?ds_rl=1262685&ds_rl=1263561&source_code=GO1GB908MSH060513&gclid=Cj0KCQiAj4biBRC-ARIsAA4WaFg9K3_U1a7MFQVCxRZOaiLUQH6UsLKOaz5uW7o5D7XTVYr-mxSM1uMaApMcEALw_wcB&gclsrc...

You might want to first review some of the work like this that's already been done, and find the best resources to share with people who you think would be open to it.

For example, Jeremy Scahill's excellent 7-part audio documentary of the Trump presidency, American Mythology: The Presidency of Donald Trump, covers a lot of this ground and has collected tons of supporting evidence. The series is nicely divided along different topics and aspects of the administration. There's also excellent books on this topic, such as Nathan Robinson's Trump: Anatomy of a Monstrosity.

What you want to avoid is retreading ground that's already been covered and doing it worse. If there's any lesson we can all agree on after the last four years, the last thing we need is another guy afflicted with narcissism and a savior complex biting off more than he chew.

Good luck.

You can start by talking to coworkers that have the same issues at work that you do. In addiction and abuse treatment, I imagine there are many. Get a committee of people together and reach out to a union in that field, I think this would be SEIU in NNJ, but I don't know. They'll get you started on the organizing process.

Alternatively, I'm sure in your area of the country there are union employers in that field. Try to seek them out and run for office in your local. The labor movement needs passionate activists right now.

This is also a good (and short) book: https://www.amazon.com/Labor-Law-Rank-Filer-Solidarity/dp/1604864192/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484749119&sr=1-1&keywords=gross+labor+law
