Inside LabourStart

The conference is more than 6 months away.  We’ve not yet published an agenda, nor announced any speakers.  It’s Christmas week and many of our readers are already on their holiday breaks.  We’ve said nothing about helping to pay for people’s travel costs.  And yet … nearly 300 people have already expressed interest in attending our conference in July.  I repeat: many of them will not attend, especially those who need to travel far and at great expense.  But with the interest so far shown by the Canadian unions in this, I think we can safely predict that the number of participants in our next conference will be counted in the hundreds.
