Next Labor Legislative Conference and Lobby Day, March 4-5th

Our legislative conference combines training on our legislative agenda with a Labor Lobby Day to advocate for working people. We will strategize and lobby lawmakers, and our strength will be our ability to mobilize and communicate a clear commitment to fight for all workers. That is why it is so important you say, “Count Me In” and show up in big numbers to the LLC! Unlike the convention, there’s no limit on registrations.

I serve as a Shop Steward for my Union. Being a Shop Steward is important to me because I am like a guard dog for the members of my Union. The Shop Steward is the go between for the Company and Union. As a Shop Steward, it's my role to enforce the contract and negotiate with the company to resolve workplace issues that my coworkers bring to my attention.
