Trade Union Renewal and New Unionism

Here's an interesting, informative and thought-provoking web site called New Unionism.

"New unionism is about seeking creative ways to organize internationally to democratize work. Together, these four principles (organizing, internationalism, creativity and workplace democracy) unite us as a network of union activists"

You can also subscribe to the newsletter Work in Progress.

What do you think about the web site? Do you think it can help you as you think about trade union renewal?

We are currently reviewing the survey results received so far.There are some interesting trends.

Here's a link to the survey that was done on a global level. I think you'll find it instructive.

Sis Asmara (ABVO Curacao) tells us that she'll be conducting a survey among members of ABVO. PSI Caribbean is anxious to see the results. All the best Sister!

Is anyone else interested in conducting the survey on a much wider scale in their union? Send us your comments and thoughts.
