ULI
IFT’s Union Leadership Institute (ULI) program has been designed to meet the needs of new and experienced local leaders and activists in all IFT constituency groups. As we all work to protect workers’ rights while grappling with the impact of racial injustice, we continue to adapt our training to meet the changing needs of union leadership.
