NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

You can bet that the conference will be the best opportunity to
network
amongst labor activists like yourself and build a labor movement
responding
to the crises currently faced by workers in the U.S. and around the
world.

Jorge Mujica, of Movimiento 10 de Marzo, knows how important it is to
come
together to share ideas and strategize. He says, "Undocumented workers
are
under an unprecedented attack. And what many people do not realize is
that
attacking undocumented workers is to be attacking working people in
general.
That's why it's necessary to attend the upcoming Labor Notes
conference, so
we can discuss this issue."

Join Jorge and others to discuss topics from immigrant worker rights,
to the
Chinese labor movement and everything in between.
