Workers Fight Back: 11th Division Conference Set for Las Vegas
IUE-CWA will have a great line up for our 11th Division Conference, which brings us back to Las Vegas for the first time in three years.
Once again we will look at the nuts and bolts of keeping our jobs -- but also defending our right to belong to a union. We are under attack as never before, and that means we have to mobilize and be unified as never before. 2011 will be known as the year workers woke up and fought back!
We also have some election business, with the IUE-CWA trustees and the President of the Division votes both occurring during the Division Conference.
