CWA District 7 Leadership Conference

First line leaders, activists and stewards participated in a districtwide leadership conference at the University of Iowa Labor Center in Iowa City, IA, last week.

District 7 Vice President Brenda Roberts spoke to participants about the importance of unity in action and organizing opportunities. Participants attended classes and workshops on topics such as "Defending the Public Good: Today's Struggles for Public Services and Public Workers"; "Laying the foundation to Organize the Unorganized"; and "Building Coalitions for Economic Justice."

They later organized and participated in a rally to support a minimum wage increase passed by Johnson County.
