	Trade union - Knowmore
		Unions are sometimes thought to be successors to medieval guilds, though this is still being debated by historians.
		Unions of workers in the private sector are tightly regulated and overseen by the United States Department of Labor under the authority of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), passed in 1935, which is Administered by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
		Unions for public sector workers are governed by labor laws and labor boards in each of the 50 states; in many states, typically those in the north, these laws and boards are modeled after the NLRA and the NLRB.

	[Ecommerce] Three international labor organizaitons propose .union
		International aspect The DoC participants in the Washington DC meeting also said that for such a proposal on ".union" to succeed, it "would have to address the international aspect of ICANN".
		In the international trade union bodies, we have over 50 years of experience in dealing with these issues (albeit that for most of this period we have mainly been dealing with paper and not internet domains).
		If the international union movement can agree internally on the language issue, there should be no need for outsiders in the "nc-tlds" discussion, or in the ICANN working groups, to lose time telling us what is and what is not acceptable.

	ICANN \| Yokohama Meeting Topic: Introduction of New Top-Level Domains \| Expression of Interest #26
		The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions is submitting this expression of interest, on behalf of a group of international trade union organisations and their national affiliated organisations.
		The preferred string for the domain would almost certainly be ".union", although some discussion is taking place as to whether it would be necessary, at some stage, to set up a number of "alias" TLDs to make the TLD more accessible to other language groups (such as ".syndicat" or ".sindicato").
		Although unions would be free to stick with their existing domain registrations, some union organisations might choose to switch their registrations to a trade union TLD.

	Oregon Workers Union
		Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, has been spending a lot of quality time with the CEOs of the largest Fortune 500 corporations, trying to convince them that a “partnership” with labor is a good deal that can help them solve some of their persistent problems.
		Unions that have been taking a beating from their powerful and resourceful employers are not likely to welcome a deal that fixes them into a servile position.
		Unions, he says, “need to be aligned with employers’ market and industry structures and flexible enough to respond to ever-changing employer dynamics and competent enough to be good partners.” Stern adds, approvingly, that unions should assist employers “in overcoming unnecessary legislative and political obstacles to their success.”

	2ND UNION NETWORK INTERNATIONAL
		As we all know the major concerns for unions are the preservation of jobs, justice for the union members and income security.
		On the other hand, whilst the government and local authorities look at the overall solution to the predicament faced by the young workers, it is incumbent upon us as a society to look at them as our responsibility and move from there on to provide the necessary remedy.
		Thus, I am very happy to note that Union Network International has invested much time and resources to bring youth leaders from all the affiliated unions in the Asia and Pacific region to share their views and experiences.

		There are certainly invaluable lessons to be learned on how trade unionists tried to cope with the challenges of union survival and growth in varying politico-economic conditions, especially in situations of repression and intolerance to trade union existence.
		Specifically, what is the influence of the trade unions in shaping the laws on freedom of association, CB and industrial democracy and their translation in the day-to-day life of the unions?
		This track outlines the emerging problems and challenges facing the trade union movement in Asia in the light of the globalization process, which is radically changing the ways things are done, the way workers are deployed and the ways by which employers are relating to the workers and the unions.
