Union Members Are Invited to Rank-and-File Meeting
See and Hear Harry Kelber, the 91-Year-Old Candidate For AFL-CIO Executive Council

Harry Kelber, the veteran labor educator and journalist, is campaigning for a seat on the AFL-CIO’s 51 Member Executive Council. His candidacy has forced the AFL to hold an election with a printed ballot for the first time since 1995.

Unlike AFL-CIO President John Sweeney and SEIU President Andy Stern, Kelber has a detailed “game plan” for involving the rank-and-file of every union in a nation wide organizing campaign that will also unite, rather than divide the labor movement.

Kelber has a lot more to say about the attempts of a group of international union presidents to take tight control of the federation, while depriving women and minorities of any voice in shaping AFL-CIO policies.

The meeting will also discuss what further steps can be taken to promote union democracy at the convention.

Information about the Meeting
Date: Tuesday, July 26, 05
Where: Hotel Drake (Georgian Room)
Time: 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
