Some of the highlights of the conference will be on how unions, locally, regionally and internationally can develop
live streaming channels to program their rallies, education meetings and solidarity events.

with live actions in Turkey, Belgium and other countries on December 11, 2010 and a live report from Colombia trade unionists.
Similar national and international days of actions can be streamed worldwide on many other labor battles taking place.
There will also be workshops on how to use cell phones to stream your videos and texting to get your messages out.
Mobile Organizing Education/IDEPSCA Mobile Voices from Los Angeles are training immigrant and migrant workers
to get their stories out on cell phones and this can be replicated for union issues and struggles. Cell phone organizing
is an important new tool that offers potential for reaching workers in an company, industry both nationally and internationally.

Special Guests Honeywell Metropolis, Illinois locked out USW 7-669 members Stephen Lech and James Childers At LaborTech Saturday Night Event
Stephen Lech and James Childers are activists and leaders of this fight and will speak about the fight for health and safety, their issues
and how working people and the public can defend their fight for justice. The US government and health and safety oversight agencies so far have
allowed the Honeywell CEO David Cote to manipulate health and safety laws to allow untrained scabs to run the highly dangerous plant.
Already there have been accidents and releases of toxins in the environment.
