An amusing new social networking site has emerged for fully immersed labor nuts. Called Union Book the site is a project of Labour Start and it’s a great way to get a pulse on the international network of union activists and Anonymous wanna-bes. Some user groups are into union history, folksongs and folklore, one group is into “poems and polemics,” another into “abolishing the wage system.” One group calls itself “Union Swag” and discusses “everything from union underwear to golf balls” which sounds like, um, fun. More than one group dedicates itself to promoting unionism “by any means necessary” (don’t make them get out the Superglue) and a group called Facebook Direct Action is building member strength to, we can only presume, take direct action against Facebook for reasons unknown. Take a peek. There’s a whole lot of struggles going on.
