On Labor Notes: a monthly magazine on trade unionism

Unions do a lot of thing for their members and that means that they need a way to keep them informed about what is going on. One of the ways that they do this is with Labor Notes a magazine that shares information on what unions are doing. In this case the magazine is aimed at the rank and file membership of all unions.

Labor Notes is a magazine that is aimed at bringing together the members of many different unions to support each other in their causes. The idea is that by having a magazine that is read by members of a number of different organizations they will be better informed about what is going on with other unions and how they can help each other. It also makes it easier to have a coherent policy regarding what unions are trying to achieve if the members of different unions can be kept informed about what other unions are trying to do.

One of the reasons that Labor Notes was founded was that it was becoming clear that union leaders were really not capable of addressing the issues that workers were facing. There was a serious gap between what the union leaders were trying to do and what the members were expecting of them. Labor Notes was aimed directly at the rank and file union members with the goal of giving them better information so that they could become more active in causes themselves. In large part this has been successful as the union members now have much more influence over their leaders than they did a few years ago.

Not surprisingly for a magazine that is published on behalf of union members Labor Notes has been quite controversial on several occasions. They have actively encouraged many strikes which has led to a great deal of criticism. Even more controversial is the support that they have lent to anti-globalization protests, many of which have resulted in violence. This is a part of the move that Labor Notes has been making in recent years away from strictly dealing with union issues. This is best shown in the way that they have been supporting rights for immigrants, particularly illegal ones. They have also been actively campaigning against the War on Terror.

One of the reasons that Labor Notes have been so active in supporting immigrants is the belief that this is the best way to increase the power of the labor movement. The idea is that if immigrants can be encouraged to organize it will greatly increase the number of people who are members of unions and this will increase the leverage that they have. Increasing union membership has long been one of the goals of Labor Notes so this is in keeping with what they have been trying to do for years.
