The 2016 Spring Retail and Legislative and Political Conferences will take place on May 22-26 at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.

The Retail Conference is an opportunity to learn about collective bargaining, organizing, and communications. It’s also an opportunity to discuss common issues, strategies, and new thinking about how we can raise the standards for retail workers, improve contracts, and organize new workers.

Since this is an election year, the Legislative and Political Conference will focus on politics and how to win locally. It will also focus on developing legislation that helps organizing, and how to use the latest technology in politics to enhance how you communicate politically with your membership. We will also hear from prominent elected officials, candidates, and political experts.
