The magazine Labor Notes [1], dedicated to “putting the movement back in the labor movement,” holds conferences every two years, which UE encourages our members (and all trade unionists) to participate in. The next Labor Notes Conference is being held from June 17- 19, 2022. Register by May 1 to save $45 per registration.

The National Union strongly encourages rank-and-file participation in Labor Notes. Because we want you to go, we will cover hotel (in a shared room) and registration costs (including Saturday evening banquet) for seven members from each region.

To secure this subsidy, please coordinate with your Regional President. The deadline for subsidy requests is April 25.
