CWA/TNG President on the Crisis in the American News Industry

LabourStart Conference

The vacation bit is done and the conference has started. Day 1 opened by AFL-CIO President Sweeney, lunch talk on the crisis in the US news industry by Bernie Lunzer, President of the CWA/TNG. Teamsters hosted a reception afterwards at their HQ.

Much fun, good people, including folks like Mahesh (India) and Roy (USA) whom I only get to see at these things. No time to report more as am too busy trying to fit in a trip to the Y and some work that has found its way into my inbox.
