Letters to the Editor Hit For Six
Peter, I read your editorial, and sort of got hit for a six. But I understand exactly what you are saying, and wish you and your future well. Workers Online was a whole new ball game for me; I didn't have a clue about this online stuff before the Joy Dispute, but covering that opened up a new world, for which I am grateful. I seem to have filed some 80 or so pieces over the years to WO, and a variety of feedback I've had and seen indicates that WO reached a wide and diverse audience. I am proud to have been a part of a great idea, a pioneering initiative, and a bloody good bit of labour movement journalism. with some sadness, but also with understanding, I note the end of Workers Online, of which I have been a reader, and contributor to, over the years. As an historian, I hope that Unions NSW will keep Workers Online archived online and accessible to researchers in the years ahead. The e-journal has become a souce for researchers of various kinds; I have notcied a large amount of footnote and text references in academic articles and books to the journal in the areas of IR, political economy, labour history, politics.
In the best traditions of labour movement journalism, Workers Online not only was part of its times, it also helped make them. The likelihood of the journal becoming of more interest to researches, will, I am sure, increase.
Rowan Cahill, President, Sydney Branch, Australian Society for the Study of Labour History.
