In the lead up to the UNI’s World Congress in Philadelphia, we have compiled practical information for getting to and enjoying the event.<\/p>\n
In August, trade union leaders will descend on the Pennsylvania Convention Center to participate in meetings by UNI Finance Europa, UNI Finance, UNI Women and UNI Global Union. <\/span>The center is located at 1101 Arch Street, Philadelphia, and it is accessible by car, train, taxi, regional rail at Jefferson Station, and bus. It is a short walk from the hotels used by most UNI delegates, and Philadelphia has a fantastic <\/span>public transportation system<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> Just a note that UNI Congress participants should use the<\/strong><\/span> North Broad Street entrance of the convention centre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In addition to flying to Philadelphia, attendees can fly into Newark Liberty International Airport<\/a>, a roughly 1 hour train ride from Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station<\/a>, or into Washington, DC, roughly 2 hours away. Train travel should be booked in advance, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Please note that outside of the airport and main train stations, it can be difficult to find a taxi in Philadelphia, so please plan ahead or use an application to find car transportation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
