The AFL-CIO website is at www.aflcio.org. It includes a labor history timeline at www.aflcio.org/aboutaflcio/history/history/timeline.cfm. And the “About the AFL-CIO” tab will also bring you to the officers and executive board. The first tab on the site, “All About Unions,” will provide a list of all 64 AFL-CIO unions.
Biglabor, www.biglabor.com, the website of Union Communications Services, has links to every union website, plus things like “today in labor history,” quote of the day, and most importantly, information on every major union.
The International Labor Communications Association, ILCA, has an informative website, www.ilcaonline.org, aimed at labor communicators, with a well-organized bank of stories on current labor issues.
Labornet, www.labornet.org, was, say the founders, “the first regular Labor News web page in the United States,” offering a “point of view that is independent (and critical) of official Labor yet sympathetic to it.” Good labor news and connections to other labor nets around the world.
