Labor communicators from across the United States are gathered to explore the question of their role in promoting democracy.
"By fulfilling that role, we will not only help protect democracy in our nation, but in our unions and our union media as well," the leaders of the International Labor Communications Association said in announcing the organization's biennial convention.
Participants include labor writers, editors, photographers, videographers, webmasters and artists. They are enhancing their skills in workshops, discussing important issues facing working people and examining ways to expand communications with union members and the public.
Keynote speaker for the conference, which runs from Nov. 13 - Nov. 16, is William Burrus, president of the American Postal Workers Union.
