CHICAGO – An audience of over 100 workers, union activists, and organizers from more than a dozen unions attended a reception here for representatives of the Cuban Embassy in Washington. The event – sponsored by Building Relations with #Cuban #Labor (BRWCL) – was part of the annual #LaborNotes conference from June 12-14, that brought together 4,700 #union activists and organizers from across the country, and several delegations from other nations. Tanieris Diéguez, deputy head of the Cuban mission to the #UN, spoke of the impact of the U.S. blockade on the lives of the Cuban people. She emphasized that Cuba is a “country of peace” and is open to talk about cooperation with the #US, but only on the basis of respect for #Cuba’s national sovereignty. However, she added, we will “fight to defend our honor” against all acts of #US aggression.

At the most overtly political Labor Notes Conference in recent years, the experience of the Twin Cities stretched over everything, and exposed a rift between a rank and file ready to fight and a leadership still looking to November.#LaborMovement #LaborNotes #Minneapolis

I should have added that “Hold Fast! (Hold the Line)” was the #LaborNotes Strike Song of the Year in 2025.

Online Workshop: Running for Union Office

One of the most important tools in the rank-and-file toolbox for transforming the labor movement is running for local union office. Internal elections are one of the ways that members can present a new way forward for the union, by putting the direction of the union in the hands of the membership—even if it means challenging existing leaders to do so. But running for union office—and winning, or losing and still building lasting networks in our locals—is not just about getting your name on a ballot.

Starting to crank up the outreach for our April 26th #LaborNotes event in #Colorado Springs. Starting with my contacts and doing some "peer-esteem snowballing." We're doing a one-day "Secrets of a Successful Organizer" workshop. Cheesy title, but the content is solid and, above all, it provides a principled space and framework for participants to begin building grassroots, person-to-person, democratic networks.
