Inside LabourStart

That’s not a typo — it’s how most Americans would spell LabourStart.  Today for the first time we have a proper US news page which can be reached at any of the following URLs:

• http://www.laborstart.us
• http://usa.labourstart.org
• http://www.labourstart.org/usa

The new page includes links to the AFL-CIO, Change to Win, the ILCA, Union Jobs, the UCS bookstore and three independent national unions (NEA, UE and IWW).  It also spells ‘labour’ the American way throughout.  It tells users that they can click on state names to see state-specific news.  And it has much more content than the previous US news page, which you can still view here.

As of now, anyone clicking on Australia, Canada or the USA from the front page of LabourStart, from any news story, is automatically taken to one of our new pages for those countries.
