How to Network

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Not sure where to put the photos from your union's July 4 picnic? Want to create an interactive web-based community for your members without cluttering your official union site with reader comments? With social networking, workers who are considering organizing a union at their workplace can join the union community and learn directly from members what it's all about. Then our "Online Social Networking" mini-workshop at noon on July 23 at the AFL-CIO is for you! The workshop – the latest in our new "Labor Websites 101: A Better Website in 50 Minutes" series of free noontime sessions on how to pump up your website – will show you how social networking tools can help your members build their community, see each others' pictures, and keep up to date without the labor-intensive duties of maintaining an official union website. Come and find out whether these trendy tools can work for your union--minus the heavy lifting. FREE but pre-registration is required. Click here to register.
