Letters to the Editor

US Union Site Worth a Look

Dear Editor

In Workers Online #39 there was a letter from an American unionist, John Pierce, who works in the television industry. He and his co-workers are in dispute with their employer and John was asking for suggestions about dealing with this.

In reply to an e-mail I sent John forwarded me the address of the website they have set up. It is well worth looking at, they are really fighting hard. It is http://www.myfreeoffice.com/local24.

Carol Quinn.
