 After a year of initial organizing and gathering of class-conscious workers together, the Workers’ International Industrial Union successfully held its First Constitutional Convention on the weekend of January 22-24.
Delegates at-large, and from Workers Assemblies and Workplace Units, in Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas and Québec met to discuss the work of the Union over the last year and where we will go between now and 2012, when the Second Convention is scheduled.
This year’s gathering was primarily a working event, with much of the time devoted to amending and finalizing the WIIU Constitution.
