Ask I should have mentioned--can you loop Susie Ballantine into NY labor

Sounds good.  I'll brain storm with our friends around NNU, ATU, APWU and
CWA, see what we can come up with and keep everyone posted.

Regarding AFSCME, they have a format proposal of what they would like this
event to look like for their endorsement process.  They are requesting a
townhall style event, 60 minutes with 40 AFSCME members that would be held
in Iowa.  Amanda, do you mean check in with Matt/Molly on where this event
would fit into schedule?  I know the scheduling team is working on this
too.
