Convention delegates raise their voices at action center

Clustered around a network of computers in the exhibit area, AFT convention delegates are weighing in on issues as diverse as changing No Child Left Behind to protesting attacks on workers worldwide at the Greater Together Action Center. The center offers prewritten letters that can be e-mailed to members of Congress, ambassadors, agency heads and other decision-makers.

Delegates Tom Kosowski and Veronica Aguirre from the Illinois Federation of Public Employees, Local 4408, used the center to communicate to their members of Congress on the Employee Free Choice Act.


"This center offers AFT members a quick way to deliver an important message," said AFT staffer Connie Cordovilla, who was assisting members with the center's login process. The Center is located in the convention exhibit area.
