For Elected Leaders: Leadership Development and Building the Team You Need
Saturday June 13, 2026 9:00am - 10:45am CDT
Leaders should be aiming not only to find a replacement when it's time to move on, but also to identify and develop new leaders who can help build the union's capacity and power. We'll talk about where to find potential new leaders, how to support and develop them, and what kinds of union structures can help.

Fight the Boss, Fix the Climate
Saturday June 13, 2026 11:05am - 12:35pm CDT
It's 110 degrees out, but the boss wants business as usual. How can we bring our co-workers together to keep us safe—and build our power—through all the climate mayhem? Hear from workers who have organized around heat, floods, and other dangerous weather. Then you'll have the chance to discuss how your co-workers already bring up climate issues, and plan steps towards collective action.

Meet with stewards from a variety of industries to talk about strategies for handling bad management, and learn some new ones.
