Union plans big training conference in Dayton
The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) will hold a regional membership mobilization political conference in Dayton on Tuesday, Sept. 16, to train 500 members in key battleground states for a “massive mobilization effort from now until Election Day.”
The states include Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Indiana.
Speakers at the conference’s opening session include former Mississippi Gov. Ray Mabus, UFCW national political campaign director Steven Powell and UFWC international vice-president and director of Region 4 Larry Plumb, the union said in a press release on Monday, Sept. 15.
The UFCW, with 1.3 million members, has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president and the conference is aimed at “turning out the critical working middle-class vote” for Obama, the release said.
The conference will be at 10 a.m. at the Dayton Convention Center, 22 E. Fifth St. in downtown Dayton.
