Amanda Mauthe is editor

The 27^th biennial National convention was held in Detroit, MI on July 15^th thru July 18^th. Madison Area Local 241 was represented by ten delegates. We listened to speeches from our APWU president Mark Dimondstein, Shawn Fain, President of UAW, Charlie Cash, Industrial Relations Director, Brian Renfoe, President of the NALC, Elizabeth Shuler, President of American Federation of Labor, Derrick Johnson, President and CEO NAACP, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, 12 district Michigan, Keith Ellison, MN Attorney General, Jan Simpson, President, Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

We listened to Amazon workers and their fight to become unionized. We raised $25,000.00 to pay the Amazon workers who attended the convention and put towards their Union campaign.

There were over 2,000 delegates in attendance from all across the United States and Puerto Rico. We debated on and voted FOR or AGAINST resolutions for multiple crafts.

I learned a lot going to this convention. I attended the 4 State Caucus in March in North Dakota where we brainstormed resolutions for this convention. It was interesting to see how it all comes together from start to finish. I attended my first rally and listened to fellow brothers and sisters share their stories on the podium

Union Strong,
