Howard Kling, telecommunications director for the University of Minnesota Labor Education Service, and Diane O'Brien, communications director for the Minnesota AFL-CIO, accepted video production awards from the International Labor Communications Association. ILCA President George Burke and Secretary-Treasurer Tony Carobine presented the awards at the organization's biennial convention, held in Las Vegas in conjunction with the national AFL-CIO convention.

The winning videos portrayed the mobilization of Minneapolis and Bloomington hotel workers prior to a strike in the summer of 2000 and the effort by Twin Cities school bus drivers to organize a union. The Labor Education Service and Minnesota AFL-CIO are sponsors of Workday Minnesota.

Also receiving an ILCA award was the Union Advocate newspaper, a St. Paul-based labor publication that was honored for general excellence. Editor Michael Kuchta accepted the award. Articles by Kuchta appear frequently on Workday Minnesota.
