Worth for some to take a look.
I am working with some new actors in this.
Even if you are or are looking to work with a writer, I can be reminded of a particular actor if you need future casting help.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Executive Council members
National and International Union Presidents
Trade and Industrial Departments
General Board Representatives
FROM: AFL-CIO Office of the President
As follow up to the Executive Council meeting, we are providing presentations and other information that was requested. All available materials are in this online folder; additional follow-up information is detailed below. All approved Executive Council statements can be found on the AFL-CIO website here.
The Executive Council meets on the subject of convention resolutions on May 4, 2022 at 10am ET via Zoom (link will be shared closer to the date). The Executive Council meets in person in Philadelphia on June 10, 2022 at 3pm ET.
Executive Council members expressed interest in guidance for unions who want to pursue divestment strategies from Russian related assets as a result of recent events in Ukraine. Any decision to divest assets should only be made after consulting with legal counsel and financial advisors. We have prepared a one page educational memorandum regarding the legal issues for divestment by a pension plan.
Below are five action items that a union may wish to consider:
1. Consider divesting Russian assets, if any, that are held by the union and are not subject to ERISA such as union strike funds or union treasury funds;
2. Encourage the union's pension plans for its staff and/or its members to assess whether the plan has any investment exposure to Russian assets;
3. Share the educational memorandum with the union's pension plan trustees about the legal issues involved with a divestment decision;
4. Consider whether the union wishes to endorse state or local legislation that encourages the prudent divestment from Russian assets by public pension plans;
5. Engage in dialogue with U.S. companies and investment managers that may own or operate Russian assets about their plans for divestment.resources can be found here.
