Inside LabourStart

One of the problems people have pointed out is that when we announce a group on UnionBook (e.g., the support group for Vale Inco), if you’re not logged in or don’t have an account, there’s no link to join the group and no explanation that you need to be a logged in user to join groups.  (Facebook, of course, does this.)

I’ve just written to the people that sorted out our spam problem to ask them to cost fixing this — because when we launch campaigns, it would be good to launch UnionBook groups at the same time — a way to get people to login and newcomers to sign up for the first time.
