The final day of the 30th AFL-CIO Constitutional Convention in Minneapolis brought it home in the most powerful way. Delegates honored those we’ve lost through a moving In Memoriam presentation, passed resolutions that will shape the direction of the labor movement, and closed with a panel celebrating Minnesota labor and the communities that make this movement strong.
"Four days. Hundreds of union leaders. One movement," said Costa. "To everyone who represented ATU this week in Minneapolis, you made us proud. The work doesn't stop when we leave this convention. We carry Minneapolis with us. Every resolution passed, every story told this week fuels what comes next. The ATU is ready."
ATU showed up and showed out all week. A special thank you to every delegate, alternate delegate, and guest who represented our union on that convention floor:
