At the Industrial Assembly the delegates discuss cooperation with unions and other labor movement groups, law and legislation concerning employment practices and working conditions, and racism and discrimination in work environments. The Student Assembly discusses the role of religion in the student movement, the purpose statement of local associations and the alternate membership basis for membership.
