Thanks Tony - and some of my colleagues are involved with that also,
chiefly project manager Mark McGrath (not on this list). Social Change
Online built and has managed the LaborNet and LCNSW sites for some years
now as well as building and supporting WorkersOnline
http://www.labor.net.au/workers/ and a number of individual union sites.
So - we are involved professionally... and yet only c.20% of workers at
SCOL belong to a union themselves... hence the need for our union meeting
last week.
regards
Linda
