Cyberunions and research

Can trade unions prosper in Cyber-space?

I think the answer to this question is still unclear, but the following web-site should help people make up their mind.

See Cyberunions by Walton Pantland.

Flash mob industrial protest challenged in court

Nearly two years ago I wrote about an incident of flash mobbing that related to a strike in Germany - see here.

According to Union Renewal blog the same incident has led to the employer organisation accusing the activists of "systematically vandalizing shops" and is now attempting to sue the trade union that played a part in the organisation of the flash mob.

For more details see here.

Can trade unions renew themselves?

This is the broad question put forward by a new blog called Union Renewal.

More specific questions asked include:

What is the trade union movement doing to organise young, minority and flex workers?

How does it cope with globlisation?

What are its activities at the local level?

How does it put social justice on the agenda?


The blog is run by Dirk Kloosterboer and Tonny Groen of the Netherlands Trade Union Confederation FNV and started earlier this month.

Of further note is also a link from the blog to a paper called Innovative trade union strategies (by Dirk Kloosterboer).
