Also attending the forum will be Sarah Fox, a former member of the National Labor Relations Board, the agency that oversees federal labor law. The forum, entitled "Let Voices Ring," will run from 6:30 to 8 p.m. June 14 at Christ Lutheran Church, 105 University Ave. W., St. Paul.
It is sponsored by the Twin Cities Workers Interfaith Network. A key focus will be the Employee Free Choice Act, workers rights legislation that has passed the U.S. House of Representatives and is awaiting action in the U.S. Senate.
Nurses trying to form a union at Regions Hospital are among those scheduled to speak, organizers said.
"Nurses at Regions Hospital and in thousands of other workplaces across the nation are struggling to make ends meet, while their ability to negotiate for higher wages and safe working conditions is severely jeopardized," the Interfaith Network said in announcing the forum. "America\'s working families need the Employee Free Choice Act to ensure corporations won\'t continue to harrass, coerce and even fire people who try to organize and bargain for their rights."
