Get to Labor Notes

#9: Drink beer and sing songs with the Wobblies, until Security shows up.

#8: Eat rubber banquet chicken entirely prepared and served by union labor.

#7: Pick up tons of literature that can be easily plagiarized for local newsletter.

#6: Maybe hear Andy Stern’s side of the story.

#5: Spend quality bus time with the cream of Madison’s labor movement.

#4: Recharge batteries for next two years.

#3: Talk to alchemists who can turn craft unions into industrial unions.

#2: “Sorry, I’ll be out of town” sounds a whole lot better than “I don’t care if you already bought tickets, I still ain’t goin’.”
