dmoz - Open Directory Project
http://dmoz.org/Society/Organizations/Labor/Unions/
A new addition to our list -- with well over 200 UK sites listed, this directory is becoming comprehensive in some countries, but needs help.
If any of you out there want to create similarly comprehensive sections for your own countries, why not become a dmoz editor? Write to Eric Lee for details.

Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation - Canada
http://www.osstf.on.ca/www/links/unions.html
Apparently not updated since November 1998. "A fairly intensive list of Unions and Federations on the internet" is what they call it. Modest, those teachers.
An unlikely place to find one of the great mega-lists of trade unions online. The alphabetically sorted list is broken down into 2 categories: teaching related (about 50 sites) and "Federations and Unions on the Internet" (all the rest). Now includes a very powerful search engine on the sites listed. The site also includes a list of all additions made in the previous month, using Linkbot -- a good idea!

EIROnline: European Industrial Relations Links - Ireland
http://www.eiro.eurofound.ie/related.html
A new addition to our list; a superb European resource.
With so many Internet sites being USA-centric, it's a pleasure to find this huge list of hundreds of European sites. (Did you know that there were 5 labour websites in Luxemburg? Even the comprehensive Cyber Picket Line didn't find them all!)

Union Resource Network - USA
http://www.unions.org
A massive list.
Organized geographically. We're still counting -- 170 union websites in Canada, 60 in the UK, hundreds in the USA (145 in just 5 states), . . . The nationalist/protectionist stuff may be off-putting to those of you who are not into "Buy American" campaigns, but it's still a heck of long list.

Labornet - USA
http://www.igc.org/igc/ln/hg/unions.html
For years, this was the list. Now facing competition, but still one of the best lists.
Still a predominantly US list, the worst thing here is the organization (by alphabet), making it nearly impossible to locate unions by country or industry. Recently reorganized, with separate lists for unions, labour media, etc.

Labour Left Briefing Links Page - UK
http://links.briefing.org.uk/
An impressive effort, particularly regarding the UK and the international Left.
Organized in the following categories: the labour movement (UK); the international labour movement; socialists, communists and revolutionaries; campaigns and pressure groups; radical media; newsgroups and e-mail lists; socialist and progressive links sites. Attractive graphics. Note new URL!

Yahoo! - USA
http://www.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Labor/Unions/
Organized in some incomprehensible fashion. Links to many of the subsections do not work. But it has been improving lately. For some odd reason, Yahoo has once again shifted the whole labour section to its "Business" directory -- but this is being taken care of, we're told. Meanwhile, lots of ITSs, national trade union centres, and even the ICFTU site have finally been added. Note new URL.

FNV Trade Union Sites on the World Wide Web - Netherlands
http://www.fnv.nl/?09uwwereld/buitenland/unionsen.html
The best directory published by a national trade union center.
Organized geographically. Part of the broader FNV (Dutch national trade union center) site. Now reports when links were checked -- how many directories do that? (Or bother to check links at all?)

International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers' Unions (ICEM) - Belgium
http://www.icem.org/resource/labres.html
The best organized list of them all.
Organized by international, national and local levels, within industries and countries, including many local unions around the world.

Labournet - UK
http://www.labournet.org.uk/links/index.html
An up and coming list.
Organized geographically. Part of the broader Labournet site. Not updated since June 1998!

International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) - UK
http://www.itf.org.uk/talk/itflinks.html
Includes many non-union sites relating to the industry.
Organized by subject. Part of the broader ITF site.

Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU)
http://www.cosatu.org.za/links.html
This page aims to provide a labour links resource, primarily for South African trade unionists and labour activists. Its focus is thus on African links, mainly those in South Africa. The page contains information about and links to a variety of web sites and pages, as well as to struggles with which COSATU expresses its solidarity. There is also a facility to request a new link or to point out an error.
