The conference takes place every two years, organized by the nonprofit group Labor Notes. The group’s mission is to “put the movement back in the labor move- ment,” and the conference will in- clude over 100 workshops and dis- cussions about topics like how to combat union member apathy, how to win union contract campaigns, how to prepare for and win a strike, and how to get a better understand- ing of the economy. Over 2,000 people attended the conference two years ago, includ- ing 75 union members from Ore- gon and Southwest Washington. Shamus Cooke, a union steward with Service Employes Local 503, says the goal this year is to go to Chicago with 100 union members from the local area. Conference registration is $105 until Feb. 15, and $150 after that.
