Somewhere around 2000 labor activists from all over the world have gathered here in Chicago to learn, share and re-energize here at the Labor Notes annual Conference. The international unions represented here are from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Bangladesh, Canada, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, France, Hong Kong, India, Germany Iran, Japan, Korea, Liberia, Mexico, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, as well as from all 50 US states. Today I attended a very progressive session on new innovations in social media, and an inspiring session on beating apathy. Organizing this event was a monumental but a highly successful effort by a small group of dedicated Labor Notes staff. Some pics from today: the general session, 2 very dedicated unionists from the Chattanooga Volkswagen plant, the delegation from Turk Metal, and AFM representatives/guest Todd Jelen, myself and Naomi Bensdorf Frisch.
