This year's Labor Notes Conference in Chicago, combined with the Great Labor Arts Exchange, hosted almost five thousand people, with thousands more turned away.

Join Peter Olney, Organizing Director Emeritus of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and invitees UNITE HERE Local 2, S.F. Jobs with Justice, East Bay DSA and other workers' organizations in motion to capture this wave, and see where it will take us. Do you like the union? Yes!
