The first-ever national AFL-CIO Young Workers Summit kicks off next week (June 10–13) in Washington, D.C. At “Next Up,” the young men and women who will lead the nation’s union movement into the future will meet with AFL-CIO leaders to share their ideas, skills and concerns about young people’s role in the union movement and especially their vision of the movement’s future.
Hundreds of young union activists and allies will take part in forums, panel discussions and breakout sessions about organizing, political and community activism and communications, and mapping out a blueprint for the union movement’s future.
We’ll live webcast and tweet many of the key discussions, forums and speakers. Plus you’ll have a chance to join the discussion with our live interactive tool during the Friday morning opening sessions, where young workers will engage in a question and answer with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler. The webcast and the interactive discussion are at: [1] www.aflcio.org/aboutus/youthsummit/webcast.cfm.
