A Special Message
Coming Together with Union Power and Union Pride
A Special Message from Wisconsin AFL-CIO President Stephanie Bloomingdale
As we gather in La Crosse for our Wisconsin AFL-CIO 33rd biennial convention, we are energized and excited for the future of our Wisconsin labor movement. This week, we come together with union power and union pride as we look forward to creating a better future for all Wisconsin workers.
As union members, we stand for safe workplaces, fair pay, and dignity and respect on the job. We fight for a future in which every worker can return home safely to their family at the end of every shift. A future where workers can achieve the American Dream through the freedom to join a union. As we work to make this happen, we need elected leaders who share our values and vision of a just American workplace protected by strong unions.
Thank you for being an essential part of our movement. The work we do these next few days will set the direction and agenda of our democratically-run organization. This is YOUR convention so please speak up, participate, and use your voice and your union power to create a better and brighter future for all Wisconsin workers.
This November 5 presents a historic opportunity for voters. For the first time in over a decade, Wisconsinites will go to the polls with new legislative maps that don’t stack the deck in one party’s favor. Securing a pro-worker legislature is a critical step in restoring worker rights and repealing Act 10 and Right to Work. November 5, 2024 marks the start of that journey.
We won’t go back to the union-busting days of Scott Walker and Donald Trump. It’s time to move forward with Kamala Harris and a pro-worker majority in the Wisconsin Legislature.
Get ready for a great convention as we take stock of where we’ve been and kick off the start of an exciting new era for the Wisconsin labor movement!
