Letters to the EditorEmail and the Waterfront Dispuite
I am attempting to research the use of email during the waterfront dispute of 1999. I have copies of the archived emails that LeftLink circulated but I want to find a complete set of the emails circulated by the ACTU because those emails included both information dispersal and, more importantly, exchanges among contributors. The ACTU has, however, moved offices and has no copies of any of those emails. Like several others I have contacted, I have long since lost my copies on an old computer hard disk. But there must be someone who has lovingly kept them in safe keeping somewhere.
If anyone has any questions about who I am, what I want to use the research for, what the research is about, what my politics are etc, you can contact me at mailto:[email protected] Andrew
