Diversity Dialogue Rolls Into Detroit

Close to 200 union leaders and activists met Saturday in Detroit for the AFL-CIO's third of four "Power in Diversity" dialogues, reports James Parks of the AFL-CIO Now Blog. Participants "looked at concrete ideas on how to increase diversity in the leadership of their unions" and determining "problems that exist in attaining diversity," Parks reports. "In the first and second diversity dialogues - held earlier in Atlanta and Philadelphia - participants began a series of frank discussions about the best ways to ensure that the leadership of the union movement is as diverse as its membership."
