Dianne Tamuk , Council 5 - JFK, Association of Flight Attendants, AFA-CWA, Port Jefferson, NY
Based on her experience as President of the Association of Flight Attendants' Council 5-JFK, Ms. Tamuk will discuss HIV/AIDS and other health issues of concern to the US labor movement. In addition, she will describe ways in which US trade unions can support the global response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Learning Objectives:
1) Recognize how the labor movement’s access and relationship with workers and their families uniquely positions trade unions to address global health issues. 2) Describe the labor movement’s potential and practical contributions to global health issues in Uganda and Kenya. 3) Link with trade union resources for partnering on global health initiatives.
