FOR LABOUR ACTIVISTS
Here are a set of Links to the labour movement on the WWW. Currently the labour movement on the net is young, vital and growing.
Internationalism is taking on a whole new meaning as workers link to each other, informing one and another of their struggles.We are building global solidarity around struggles that only a year or two ago would have been a local issue.
Several articles on the Labour movement's use of the Internet/Infobahn are included. As well there are critical articles demystifying the information highway and global economics.
Of course no set of links would be complete without a list of other left / progressive pages on the net.
This page was originally created in 1995 and some of the articles are dated from then. More current articles can be found at: LABOUR NET CANADA Click on RESEARCH on the Index page.

THE WITHERING OF TRADE UNION PATRIARCHY
ARLINGTON, VA -- A first-ever study of internet users' interest in engaging with charities and advocacy groups online reveals a vast, but largely untapped potential for using new technologies to mobilize people for social change. This is the principal conclusion of a study released today by CMS Interactive, a division of Craver, Mathews, Smith & Co. (CMS).
Suzanne Cohen & Deborah Joseph, two reference librarians at the Catherwood Library, have produced a significant, new accomplishment in Internet service. With extensive links to topics of interest to Labor Unions, this site is an invaluable and instructive tool for all union members, officers, and staff.
