Labor Website of the Year
The United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America has won LabourStart’s 2009 Labor Website of the Year. LabourStart, the labor news service, has sponsored the competition every year since 1997. Trade union websites from around the world compete, and individual union members vote online to decide which is the best union website
As trade union use of the Internet grows, the competition grows as well. This year, 170 sites were nominated, nearly twice as many as last year. LabourStart’s volunteer correspondents from around the world voted for the best ones and winnowed the list down to 12 finalists.
The runners-up, in order, were Union Songs, Our Times, USLEAP and New Unionism Network.
