Hi everyone,
I'm forwarding an email from Gina McKay about a "United Way Winnipeg & Labour" table at the conference. I had meant to bring this up at the meeting, but forgot. My feeling is that I think this is fine. It does raise some policy issues, though, for the conference. First is, if they are in the publishers' exhibit area, should they have to pay the $200 - my feeling is no. Where this becomes an issue is if other groups want an information table. As yet, we haven't had any requests from political groups, etc., for tables. But what if we do? My feeling is that we have to allow them to display, but in a hallway somewhere. Is the United Way different? Might others be different? This may turn out to be a non-issue, but I thought it worth raising and sounding people out.

Good afternoon,
I wanted to reach out to you folks to inquire about the possibility of setting up a United Way Winnipeg & Labour table at the conference. I will be attending as a delegate already, and am a volunteer with the 1919 events committee, but wanted to reach out to help make connections for delegates to our Labour Program services, our national labour education & training opportunities with the Cdn Labour Congress, our social stewarding resource app across Canada (and in Manitoba: mb.211.ca), etc.
I think it is a great opportunity to help build stronger relationships with the communities we live and work in, and I'm hoping that you might consider this opportunity. We also have created a window display timeline of Labour & the building and funding of the social service sector in Winnipeg that will be launched in early May that might be of interest to delegates. I have connected with Anna Rothney already about including information for the conference delegate kits, but with that said, I could also see if we might be able to bring along a few of our mounted panels of artifacts and images to have on display. It might be a great eye catching way to make a local, community connection to social justice activism, the work sector, and the supports and resources for our labour movement.
Thank you for considering the opportunity and ask. I look forward to hearing from you!
Solidarity,
Gina McKay

I think the more, the merrier -- it's great to be able to share such info with delegates and others.
When James, Amber, and I meet with UW Conference Services, we should ask about how many tables can be accommodated in 2M70, given it's also the place for registration, coffee, and book sales. That will help determine whether there is space for these folks, whether tables for them are better placed in the atrium outside Riddell, and whether there is an additional charge to us for such a thing.

I have no objection. The United Way is 50% labour supported so it's quite appropriate to host them. julie

Has Bar None approached the conference about space yet ? I know they have expressed an interest in having an information table. They would fall into the category of non publishing political groups. One of their principle members Owen Toews will be a participant in the Colonialism, Race, and the Winnipeg General Strike workshop.

Hi Jim, I believe this request is different from that of a book sellar and we should welcome the United Way display and any archival display free-of-charge. Gina McKay is a Labour person and will speaking at our Millennium Library Series along with Kevin Rebeck on April 17th. Sharon
