{{DISPLAYTITLE:UnionWiki.org - how can wiki help organize people into the Union.}}
−
Wiki evangelists will tell you that wikis are great because they're the simplest thing that works.  If this is your first time using a wiki, that may sound crazy to you.  However easy wikis may be, they aren't very polished and that makes them seem unwelcoming.  The most important thing to remember about using a wiki is that a wiki is a community.  This means that no single person needs to know how to do everything, or even most things. In fact, chances are that if you can figure out how to throw text up, somebody else can figure out how to make it look right. So jump right in!

I was a union organizer from 1994 to 2006 - the first part as a member organizer in my grocery store [[UFCW.org]].  Second part as a paid staffer [[AFT.org]].  It was in the Detroit area and I was always frustrated about the lack of organization between unions and locals and members.
 +
 
 +
I discovered wiki in January 2002 and was very excited about it's potential use in organizing people and issues in the union movement.  Alas, the union movement moves kinda slow :-)  I was at a labor tech meeting in SF in Nov 2006 and they were just starting a blogspot weblog.
 +
 
 +
So introducing wiki has been slow - best example is this so far: [http://www.cgeu.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page CGEU wiki]
 +
 
 +
The reason I moved to Portland, was to help with a startup business venture - it was based off some of my ideas, and taken way further than I imagined.
 +
 
 +
I would like to create an open directory of all unions and locals, such that when I want to find what union locals are in my area, I can, or if I want to find all IBEW locals in Oregon, I can - that is the first step, basic open directory.  Second step is to get contracts online where possible, third step.... whatever organically comes from there.  ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
