Our most recent Leadership II participants (in class the week of June 11) visited the Capitol as part of their training. It can be intimidating for some to think about visiting your elected representatives, but we walk you through the process step-by-step in Leadership II.

This week, Leadership I learned about three important themes in labor history: struggle, resilience, and solidarity. Today, we show solidarity with our brothers and sisters in LL 701, who are on strike, and at the Milwaukee Art Museum fighting for their first contract.
