Online registration is now closed, but we are still accepting walk-in registrations! Please email joe@labornotes.org if you plan to attend (for food headcount purposes).

Join labor activists from around New Orleans—and the South—to strategize, share skills, and learn how to organize to win.

Troublemakers Schools are day-long mini-conferences that cover organizing skills and highlight real-world examples of taking on the boss, and winning!

Past workshops and panels have covered topics like:

• Beating Apathy
• Turning an Issue into a Campaign
• Building unions despite obstacles in the South
• ...and much more!

Whether you're new to unions or are an experienced union activist, there's something here for you. We encourage local unions to send a group of members.
