Eric Lee Public Forum

International trade union Internet guru Eric Lee will visit Australia in early September sponsored by Adult Learning Australia.

The trip will include a public forum, co-hosted by Workers Online, to be held in Trades Hall on Wednesday September 9.

Eric will chart the rise of the Internet, outline how some trade unions and other community groups have harnessed it and set out some signposts for the future.

This will be an interactive forum, with the audience encouraged to participate in the discussions.
