LaborNET	Ask Neale	Tool of the Week

Letters to the Editor

Well Done for the Ton

Dear Workers Online,

Congratulations on making it to the 100th issue. Anyone that doubts the impact Workers has had on the union movement in Australia should consider one simple statistic:

Since Dec 1999 Workers has attracted 870,000 page views - not bad for a publication with no marketing budget or big media player behind it.

Well done and here's to the next 100 issues.

Regards,

Mark McGrath
