Dear Voice@Work e-Activist, Organizing is the lifeblood of the union movement, but the percentage of workers organized in unions has declined in recent decades and this has hurt all workers. In the day-to-day press of handling grievances, negotiating contracts, and the like, it is easy to lose focus on the challenges of organizing. It's hard work, but organizing is the most important endeavor to ensure the future of the labor movement. Despite today's hostile legal and political environment, unions have organized four million new members in the last ten years. There are many exciting new strategies, tactics, and techniques unions are using to fight back. That's why the Wichita/Hutchinson Labor Federation of Central Kansas, AFL-CIO is bringing some of the nation's leading experts on union organizing to Wichita, Kansas for a one-day conference on Thursday, September 7th. Learn from: The conference, Organize for our Future, Survival of the Fittest, will be geared to the special problems facing unions in right-to-work states. The panel of experts will focus both on internal recruitment and organizing new work places. This is the perfect conference for union officers, business agents, stewards, and for anyone interested in building a larger and more effective union movement. We encourage you to join us Thursday, September 7th in Wichita, Kansas. Register Online Thank you for all you do to restore workers' freedom to form unions and bargain collectively. Together, we will win. Voice@Work Campaign |
