Derek Blackadder said that there have been some important books on unionism and the internet.\u00a0 Some of that information is now dated.\u00a0 Eric Lee’s book.\u00a0 Art Shostak’s book.\u00a0 On the whole, unions may not be making the best use of the internet.\u00a0 Derek will place his extensive outline of the issue on the LS blog.<\/p>\n
We need a new book on the subject.<\/p>\n
Is there a need for it?\u00a0 Art:\u00a0 this is a critical moment and an exciting one in this country.\u00a0 And dangerous.\u00a0 Our friends take criticism poorly:\u00a0 others are with us or against us.\u00a0 These books are indispensable.\u00a0 Our own unions, however, may ignore this material.\u00a0 Be careful about your publisher.\u00a0 Leftist presses may be ignored by our own people.\u00a0 University presses are problematic.<\/p>\n
Stu Elliott:\u00a0 It doesn’t help us that we’re telling unions how to conduct their businesses.\u00a0 Stylistic problems with presentation.\u00a0 We can be critical but a “this is how you do it” slant may work better.<\/p>\n
Eric:\u00a0 This is not a book just for trade unionists.\u00a0 Must be a global project.\u00a0 From multiple publishers and in multiple languages that can be used by anyone in the world.<\/p>\n
Arieh:\u00a0 Publishing a “handbook” instead of an extensive book may make the information more appealing.<\/p>\n
Art:\u00a0 A complete history will be valuable for future discussions of history.<\/p>\n
Eric:\u00a0 One book that discusses successes and failures.\u00a0 Need a book by next May.<\/p>\n
Need to address popular sites such as FB and Twitter in this book.\u00a0 Art:\u00a0 Are we using information technology to carry the water of the power holders or is there a constellation of values that is independent of governments?\u00a0 What is the “digerati” philosophy?<\/p>\n
Should the book include a section on the history and an analysis of LS?\u00a0 This will be an LS publication.\u00a0 In a sense, this book has already been written by Espen Loken … of course, it is in Norwegian.<\/p>\n
