How can we reach young workers and build the labor movement ? How can young union members shape their unions? How can we build upon what so many others fought for to protect working families? How can we take advantage of technology to communicate with union members?
Curious? These are some of the questions that will be asked at the Young Workers Roundtable Discussion hosted by AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler on July 28. Sponsored by the Minnesota AFL-CIO, this event builds upon the Next Up Summit held in Washington, D.C. in June that brought hundreds of young union members together to discuss the same questions. Minnesota's union members are ready to take it to the next level through this discussion and design a program that local unions can use to engage locals and bring the young worker's voice to the table.
If you are a union member between the ages of 18-35 and would like to participate in this discussion, please contact Jessica Hayssen, Field Coordinator at the Minnesota AFL-CIO, at 651-261-8559 or [email protected] by July 19.
