We welcome members to participate in our Common Sense Economics course, led by Executive Secretary Treasurer Andy Sanchez. As a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, with a seasoned career in organizing and lobbying for working families, Sanchez will bring participants into an important discussion about the broken rules of the American economy. Today, many American workers, along with their families, are struggling to get ahead despite their sacrifice as members of the workforce. This course is designed to educate participants on the broken rules of the global economy, the policy stances taken by the AFL-CIO on behalf of labor families, and a bold vision for the future where these broken rules are fixed. Join us and enjoy conversation and refreshments with your union siblings. Leaders, this is an excellent opportunity to send your young members to learn and make connections in our community. 

Where: Strawberry Hill Working Coop 709 N 6th St Kansas City, KS room 221

When: October 19, 2024, 9:30 AM till 11:00 AM.
