About e-unions
The aim of the e-unions.org project is to provide
a web-based Help-desk that will empower webworkers on the staff of trade unions world-wide.
The website will give advice and tech tips aimed at union officials (staff) who wish to:
- Set up a successful website
- Share experiences of best practice of union web-presence
-
Network with other individual trade union webworkers (no need for isolated
webworkers to re-invent the wheel!)
-
Upgrade or modernise existing trade union web presence
The e-unions.org project takes the form of a series
of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) grouped around different keywords. The
site aims to provide answers to the usual questions people ask themselves, when
they are taking their union onto the web for the first time, or when they want
to upgrade their trade union web presence from, for example, a static site to
a dynamic database driven site.
The idea behind e-unions.org is not to produce generic
documents about the Internet, since these can be found all over the web already.
Instead, the idea is to have a resource with specific reference to the experience
of trade union work with lots of links and examples.
