[Air-l] Union use of the web

[Derek McMillan]

I suggest the following:

http://socialistteachers.org.uk
http://wsta.tripod.com

These are examples of teachers' orgnisations using the internet to 
contact their members because a rising number of schools use the 
internet for communication.

There are also forums (sometimes called fora...you know what teachers 
are like):
http://www.tes.co.uk/section/staffroom/
http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php
which involve teachers from around the world in discussions and include 
union activists.
You will note that the issue of public sector pension funds in the UK 
are a hot issue because of the attempt by the government to effectively 
deprive hundreds of thousands of their employees of pensions to which 
they were previously entitled. There is strike coming up this week with 
more to follow.
Do not be deceived by the term "new Labour" by the way everyone in the 
UK was and look what happened to us!
