This conference will bring together labor video, computer and media people
from throughout the country and around the world. It will be a critical
arena for the development of labor¹s media in the battles ahead to make
our voices heard.
We know that our unions and the working class as a whole are under attack

circumstances, the need to have a media counter-offensive is absolutely
essential.
