Labor Notes 2015 Year in Review

December 28th, 2015 | Posted by admin in Did you know? | Events | Solidarity | UNION MADE | Your Rights - (0 Comments)

Labor Notes is a media and organizing project that has been the voice of union activists who want to put the movement back in the labor movement since 1979.

Through our magazine, website, books, conferences, and workshops, we promote organizing, aggressive strategies to fight concessions, alliances with workers’ centers, and unions that are run by their members.

Labor Notes Conferences just keep getting better. We couldn’t be more excited about what’s in store in 2016.

For a glimpse at the variety of troublemakers you’ll meet, check out our 2015 Year in Review and consider just a few of the inspiring stories of grassroots resistance we’ve recently highlighted:
* Auto workers and carhaulers organizing to vote down concessionary contracts.
* Farmworkers striking for $15 an hour.
* Verizon retirees blocking trucks to defend their health care.
* Chicago high school students winning back their school librarian’s job by walking out and sitting in

Share Your Recipe!

July 9th, 2015 | Posted by admin in Convention | Events | Recipes | Uncategorized - (0 Comments)

cookbookIn honor of this summer’s 40th National Convention, AFGE is collecting a special-edition online cookbook of member-submitted recipes. This is a fun, new project to show off our union’s cooking skills and swap recipes in solidarity.

These should be “tried and true” recipes that any home cook can follow. We would like to showcase the online cookbook for all members at our upcoming 40th National Convention and beyond.

Recipes should include: your name, your local number and district, your recipe’s name, and easy step-by-step ingredients and directions. We would also like you to submit a picture of yourself preparing the meal or a head shot of yourself in order to have a visual aid in the cookbook. A picture of the competed dish is also acceptable.
