The national AFL-CIO will honor two elected leaders this Friday with the inaugural Wellstone Award for their outstanding support of workers’ efforts to improve their lives by forming unions. Vermont Governor Howard Dean and State Senator John Burton, President Pro Tem of the California Senate, will both be honored at a dinner Friday which is part of the AFL-CIO’s first organizing summit.

11. Speaking of nurses, local nurses had a rep at our Dean meeting last night.

We had a lot of new people who had not even signed up with Meet-up. They saw it in the paper and just came. Good crowd.
