 With budget cuts, union-busting, privatization, and corporate outsourcing schemes wreaking havoc on working people in the DC metro area, who ya gonna call? The Troublemakers School! Former Metro Council Assistant Mobilizer Julia Kann – now with Labor Notes – reports that “local labor activists are planning a day of skill-building workshops, education, and strategy discussions to strengthen the local labor movement with rank-and-file worker power!” The DC-Area Troublemakers School is scheduled for Saturday, November 15 from 8am to 4pm at Foundry United Methodist Church. $20 registration but no one turned away for lack of funds.

Labor Notes is organizing the event.
Workshops and panels will include: How to Talk to your Coworkers about the Union; Fighting Privatization; Community-Labor Alliances; Beating Apathy; Getting Off the Grievance Treadmill; Minority Unionism.
