Labor Notes Conference

This summer, join RVACORE members in Chicago for the 2026 Labor Notes Conference. This is the biggest gathering of rank-and-file union activists, union reformers, and all-around troublemakers out there! Register by April 1, 2026 to buy your tickets at our discounted early-bird rate!

Join thousands of union members, officers, and labor activists.
These are the rank and file on the front lines in our workplaces and our communities, organizing new workers and agitating together. Meet troublemakers from across the country and around the world.

Choose from more than 200 meetings and workshops!
They include creative organizing tactics, beating apathy, running for local union office, winning contract campaigns, bargaining over technology, assertive grievance handling, and reviving the strike.

Organize with others in your union, industry, or campaign!
Face-to-face meetings to share tactics and swap notes are the heart of the Labor Notes Conference. Join an existing industry, union, or caucus meeting—or contact us to set one up!
