Steelworkers Lobby on Capital Hill

The 2009 National Rapid Response Conference was held in early February in Washington, DC. In addition to lobbying and plenary sessions, workshops were conducted focusing on building and maintaining local union networks. Conference attendees gained an understanding of the challenges we face and how to keep the momentum and energy moving forward. Below are pictures from the Lobby Day for the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) which was held on February 4.
