Articles

You may be interested in an article in the September 2002 issue of the British Journal of Industrial Relations. It is partly based on the data contained in the Cyber Picket Line's World Trade Union Directory.

The piece is titled: Will unionism prosper in cyberspace? The promise of the internet for employee organisation and is written by Wayne Diamond and Richard Freeman of LSE and Harvard respectively.

If your library or educational institute has an account with Ingenta, you should be able to get access to the article here.

A version of it is available as an NBER Working Paper here

Another useful article is Unions get connected, in the internet industry magazine Industry Standard Europe . The article examines unions' use of the web and includes comments from myself and others.

See also, an article of mine called Workers of the World Online that I originally wrote for People Management, a UK industrial relations magazine. It is in English, as well as French and German (thanks to the PSI).
