UNI Communicators' Forum

• A small but growing number of trade unionists use Twitteri, though few are intensive users.
• Only a tiny number use Twitter for trade union purposes.
• Re-tweeting, the Twitter equivalent of forwardig an email, is not widely used.
• Of all the other social networks, only Facebooki is widely used and giant sites like MySpacei and Bebo are off union members's radar.
• Unions that do use Twitter are probably not very good at communicating this fact to members, as most did not know if their unions used Twitter.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

Extract of the article:

"UNI unions on every continent, from Argentina to Germany to Kyrgyzstan to Ivory Coast to Japan, organised visits and sent letters to their ambassadors.

The embassy visits were our way of showing solidarity with US workers and union activists who are fighting for their rights and have worked tirelessly to pass this vital legislation."

Our dear brother Emanuel was a UNI Communicator. He sadly passed away while attending the June 2009 UNI Communicators' Forum in Cyprus. It came as a shock to all of us, not only the attendees but UNI as a whole. He passed away at the very young age of 47 and his family and friends selflessly donated gifts to 47 children in Mongolia, the same number as his age.

What is 28J?

Inspired by Twitteri, 28J is an online, real-time, participatory site. Its goal is get its own coverage of the upcoming legislative elections in Argentina. User-citizens can SMS or post directly to the site, or from their own websites.

28J follows its own agenda, the user's, the Argentinian people, which is the main difference with mainstream media.

Our Argentinian unions are active correspondants.

"Now the big question is, how do you implement a Collaborative Network? What are strategies and best practices? What technologies and design patterns are best suited? What are real world enterprise success stories? And how do you measure success?"
