Five delegates from OPEIU Local 2’s Rising Stars “Step Up” Committee will join over a thousand young union activists and community advocates from all over the country at the AFL-CIO Next Up Young Worker Summit from March 19-22 in Chicago, Illinois. At the largest gathering of young worker advocates this country has ever seen, these future union and community leaders will come together to build a common middle-class agenda, provide young activists the tools they need to build power and begin mapping out the strategy they’ll need to claim the future they deserve. The theme of the summit is “Educate, Aspire, Organize!” With the support of our local leadership, our delegation is excited to learn and bring their energy back to service the members of OPEIU Local 2!
