b'We focus on the militant, rank-and-file wing of the labor movement which gathered in Chicago this weekend for the annual \\u201cTroublemakers\\u201d conference sponsored by Labor Notes Magazine. The conference was packed with 4,000 attendees the largest ever in the history of the event. What new plans were hatched, strategies debated and discussed and relationships formed that could blossom into future organizing efforts? New York-based union organizers Wen Zhuang and Eric Dirnbach of the Emergency Workers Organizing Committee, who were both present, give us a feel for the energizing weekend.'
