This is a special newsletter about MULP!

🤔 What is MULP?

MULP is the Labor Education Service’s Minnesota Union Leadership Program. The program consists of six in-depth sessions scheduled over nine months where participants study the past, present, and future of the labor movement while engaging in critical thinking about how workers can build a more just and equitable society. Emerging and established union leaders build relationships and network with their fellow class members and others from the labor movement, learning from each other’s experiences and knowledge. To be in community, learning about worker power and history together? Sounds like a dream. ☁️✨
