Workshop offers information on Labor Hub program

The workshop will run from 10 a.m. to noon at the offices of the Minnesota AFL-CIO, 175 Aurora Ave., St. Paul. It is free but registration is requested.

Advantage Labs describes Labor Hub as “a website solution that provides tools and information right out of the box, combined with strategy and support from experts in both technology and labor.”

By pooling resources, Labor Hub can create powerful organizing sites with advanced tools like legislative bill tracking, community outreach, event registration, or sharing content and calls to action. Organizations such as the Minnesota AFL-CIO are already effectively using Labor Hub sites.

The workshop will include a presentation of Labor Hub features and services and a discussion about how the Labor Hub network can help organizations leverage existing resources to increase effectiveness. Chris Shields, Minnesota AFL-CIO communications director, will be on hand to demonstrate how the federation is improving its online strategy via Labor Hub.

This workshop is open to everyone and intended for anyone who works with labor-based organizations and causes. Visit the Labor Hub website to register and find out more.
