DESCRIPTION:The mass protest movement against the murder and lynching of George Floyd 
 and many many others has led to a struggle in the labor movement about the 
 role of the police and whether they should be in the unions. The AFL-CIO as 
 well as other unions have thousands of police members.\n\nLast month, the 
 Martin Luther King Jr. Labor Council in Seattle after a sharp debate, voted 
 to throw the police out of the council. At the same time, ATU and TWU bus 
 drivers in New York and Chicago have refused to transport arrested 
 protesters.\n\nOne ATU 241 member Erek Slater in Chicago was removed by the 
 police and terminated after he had a discussion with members at his bus 
 barn on the position of the ATU International.\n\nThis forum will look at 
 these issues and what labor should do.\nPanelists:\nGabriel Prawl, Former 
 Seattle ILWU Local 52 president and A. Philipp Randolph Institute Seattle 
 Chapter President\nJack Heyman,  Retired ILWU Local 10 Member and Former 
 ITF Bay Area Agent\nErek Slater, ATU 242 Bus Driver & Executive Board 
 Member\nLeith Kahl, ILWU Local 19 Seattle\n\nThis is a free Zoom based
