APRI 41st NEC - Tentative
Agenda -- Registration Form
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
These are sobering times.
We’ve just celebrated a historical milestone in the passage of the Healthcare Reform Bill. But this is just the beginning of the fight which is still ahead. Any step in the right direction is evidence of progress, but we don’t need to take baby steps…we need to take long, swift strides toward completely closing the gap between healthcare disparities, economic and social injustice.
We read the headlines that speak to the 8 million Americans who have lost their jobs; unemployment hovers at 10 percent nationally--we need folks back to work NOW! How is the changing face of Labor affecting us as we continue to see ways to organize our workplaces? Just as we raised our voices to demand healthcare reform, we need to raises our voices to fight for better working conditions, fair wages and to keep our pensions. We need to raise our voices to support the Employee Free Choice Act for the freedom to form unions and bargain. We must work together and not allow our communities to be weakened by violence, hatred and discrimination. [More]
