As a long-time union activist, shop steward, and local union officer, I know the importance of finding new and creative means of moving the labor movement forward. That's why I read Labor Notes, a source of concrete, practical information where we can share our victories and analyze what we've learned, and keep abreast of current labor struggles. In order for us to stop this, we need to learn from and build solidarity with other unionists. Labor Notes gives us the contacts we need to build a unified movement. Not many in the labor press wrote about these efforts, much less supported them.
Selected articles are available online, along with subscription information .
Books and Pamphlets Labor Notes books and pamphlets help activists deal with workplace issues. They are an valuable resource to union activists and reps alike. The include A Troublemaker's Handbook and Stopping Sexual Harassment. Every two years, Labor Notes hold a national conference that attracts over a thousand activists from across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and abroad. The purpose of these conferences is to help activists build networks based on common issues.
