Almost a thousand union members convened in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday at the AFL-CIO’s first Workers’ Congress in four years. Workers shared stories, brainstormed strategies, and swore in the AFL-CIO’s new executive board, the most diverse leadership in the organization’s long history. Speakers addressed issues including the growing connection between unions and social justice campaigns, the current supreme court hearing in Janus v. AFSCME, and other topics concerning contemporary labor groups.
