Collective Bargaining: Sharpening Our Labor and Political Focus

May 4 - 6, 2012
Allerton Hotel Chicago, Illinois

2011 began an unprecedented assault on workers’ rights and the middle class, which continues to jeopardize collective bargaining and patient care. The anti-union sentiment in America has awakened the sleeping giant of solidarity as never before. Learn from dynamic speakers about the history of the labor movement, the 21st Century union, and how to fight back and affect positive change in the workplace.

Get the real story on anti-union labor laws. Watch how labor has been portrayed in American culture. Listen to the stories of colleagues’ contract struggles and how they won. Hear from the people who successfully defeated Senate Bill 5 in Ohio.

Don’t be left without the shield of solidarity, occupy corporate America!

Registration will begin in March. Check back to www.nfn.org and look out for more information from ONA as the event draws near.
