Northwest contingent
forming for Chicago Labor
Notes conference
Local labor union activists are re-
cruiting a contingent of unionists
from the Pacific Northwest to at-
tend the April 1-3 Labor Notes con-
ference in Chicago.
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.

ence or contact local Labor Notes
organizer Johanna Brenner at 503-
