 Amid the ongoing saber-rattling between the U.S. and North Korea, quiet efforts continue to build peace at the ground level, including by union members. US Labor Against the War (USLAW) is sending a delegation of American trade unionists – including union members affiliated with the Metro Washington Council – to South Korea April 30 through May 6 “to learn from Korean workers in the struggle, as well as building lasting relationships between labor leaders,” says OPEIU 2 member Jason Roe. The discussion will center around the ways in which fellow workers can get involved with social and economic justice issues, “including how we can build worker power internationally, end the Korean War, and adequately address climate change.” The delegation is raising funds for the trip; click here for details.
