Posted by Tony Budak on the Community Labor News and Working Class Studies mailing lists:
It cccured to me that to collaborate to build a stronger labor movement, it
might be a good idea to discuss, document and announce how the Internet or
information technology is used to make for a better world. The focus should
come from a labor community point of view and lo and behold who better than
CLNews.org of course.Who knows given the ways things are at the present time, perhaps a few of
these e-mail list servers, web sites, Blogs, and forums with members from
every corner of the working class can somehow collaborate in solidarity. But
we can’t know unless we try, so…I have opened a new forum on the bulletin board at CLNews,
http://clnews.org/forums
The forum title is “Labor and Information Technology”, it is a place to
“Start a new thread here or reply to current thread about the use of the
Internet within the labor movement”Being that the forum is up 24/7 it is a good place to post announcements, or
carry on a discussion on a specific topic. In other words network and
collaborate with each other.So point your web browser to
http://clnews.org/forums
then go to and click the title “Labor and Information Technology”.I hope that you will use the opportunity. Please give it a try. BTW there
are other forums there, and if you want a forum for a special idea, let me
know.With Respect and Solidarity,
Tony Budak
