Where is unionism working?
Three unions leading the way:
Writers Guild of America West keeps the strike pressure on (does not cancel the strike like AFA international did with CHAOS at NWA) and looks close to a deal. No caving here: http://www.wga.org/
California Nurses Association is educating and fighting for America’s healthcare after having all of their members see the movie SICKO for free: http://ga1.org/campaign/cheneycare
SEIU fighting back with their Hotel Workers campaign to get workers above poverty levels: http://www.hotelworkersrising.com/
Some good general labor sites:

http://www.laborradio.org/

http://www.labornotes.org/
Labor History (find out what real unionists did):

Service not Servitude
The Pullman Porters – the first black union and they were in the service industry like us, but they had a strategy and knew how to affect politics (they helped start the civil rights movement): http://www.aphiliprandolphmuseum.com/evo_history4.html
Union Democracy: http://www.uniondemocracy.org/index.htm
