Now that many believe that the computer age is here to stay, it's amazing how many people are tuning in, online that is. I know baby boomers who have made solemn vows that they would never have the need for a computer, are now finding themselves tightly strapped into the digital age. When we look at the latest advancements in operating system software, coupled with the the massive power of the internet, its not a giant leap to visualize the awesome advancements that we have to look forward to in the next several years.
Labor is wasting no time in taking advantage of this newfound technology. Both the California Labor Federation AFL-CIO and the Oregon AFL-CIO now offer Email services to keep members informed of what's going on within their states. Both offer excellent labor and political news, headlines and information that all union activist's should be aware of. Don't be apathetic and believe that your elected legislators are acting on your best interests. Get involved and make a difference. The IAM has recently joined in by offering their new "I-Mail" to anyone who wishes to receive it. Check out these aforementioned services and help to keep the labor movement advancing in the direction that we will be proud to pass on to the next generation.
