That’s cool! Didn’t know PSL was starting labor organizing campaigns. I put an effort post I saw on hexbear a couple years ago below so hopefully whoever you talk to shares similar materials/ideas.
Steps for initial union organizing:
1.Get a list of everyone at your site
2.Make a spreadsheet with your estimate on how pro-union they all are (5-point scale: would help organize, would vote yes on union card, neutral, anti-union but could be convinced, would rat you out to the boss so avoid talking union to this person)
3.Start talking to people about unions, carefully, and add them to the spreadsheet
4.If you find someone who’s super pro-union (5), give them access to the spreadsheet too
5.Keep going until everyone is in the sheet
6.If your sheet says you don’t have a majority, identify fence-sitters and the workers they respect, and work on recruiting the workers they respect
7.When you’re getting close to a majority, contact another union in your area and ask for advice and a lawyer recommendation
8.Make sure you’ve talked to another local union and a labor lawyer
9.Get the union card in front of everyone at once, as fast as you can
Special note: 51% isn’t going to be good enough for your majority. Unless you feel you need to take the risk (for some reason) of 1~2% flipping at the last minute and losing the vote, its probably a good idea to wait until you’ve got a solid (like rock solid) 60~75% pro union.

No Shortcuts, the book. It’s long and detailed case studies: https://janemcalevey.com/no-shortcuts/
No Shortcuts, the interview. It’s honestly better than the book. Very good additional details, especially about step 6 above. I recommend this one the most: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2019/04/jane-mcalevey-on-how-to-organize-for-power/
