LiUNA Multi-Regional Conference | Chicago

I recently covered the Laborer's International Union's (LiUNA)  Multi-Regional Conference in Chicago. This 540,000-plus member union met to discuss organizing, health and safety on the job, plans for growth to a million members, build their share of the workforce, and signed an agreement of solidarity and cooperation with the 140,000-plus members of the International Union of Painter and Allied Trades. The energy and skill of these workers was infectious.

Thanks to Ed Rehfeld of LiUNA for the assignment, and to the hardworking men and women of LiUNA for their empowering righteous efforts to upbuild their lives and the nations of Canada and the United States.

I recently photographed the Weinberg Founders Conference for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Experts, scholars, and diplomats spoke on a wide range of topics and issues relating to the current situations in the Middle East, including the ambassadors of Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Israel. There was also an interactive remote talk given by King Abdullah II bin al-Hussein of Jordan.

Thanks to the Washington Institute's Jeff Rubin for the interesting assignment.
