Eric: We need more US correspondents that are more engaged in American union issues.\u00a0 LS campaigns on behalf of US unions.\u00a0 How do we get US unions to come to us?\u00a0 American unions need be more involved in international campaigns but, very often, are not interested in international concerns.\u00a0 How can this be combated?\u00a0 How can we do necessary educational work about global issues in the US?<\/p>\n
Arieh:\u00a0 We need to get people from unions into sessions like this, maybe from unions that have a connection to an international issue that we have targeted.<\/p>\n
Help targeted unions with ActNOW campaigns and eventually find more correspondents.\u00a0 It is even difficult to get people interested in something happening in their own union, but in a different local.\u00a0 International interest?\u00a0 Apathy is not a new problem.<\/p>\n
Eric invited to and visited Toronto at the height of the SARS panic.\u00a0 Asked, “What can LS do for you?”<\/p>\n

Tula Connell spoke about the AFL-CIO blog.<\/p>\n
