| For the convenience of our readers, we have added a series of indices where you can find lists of stories related to particular topics. These can be found on the Contents frame on the left. In addition to the list of articles on this Front Page and on our Archive Page, we have lists of articles on Corporate Accountability, Health Care, September 11, and Longitudinal Labor Issues. The Directory of International Unions immediately follows these topical indices. |
We invite you to explore our Legal Report. Most recently, we report on the Supreme Court's recent consideration of a case that may sharply restrict the ability of labor unions to engage in political activity, along with new federal regulations prohibiting discrimination in health plans under the statute known as "HIPAA."
Since these pages were created a couple of years ago, they have evolved from a simple listing of labor links into a panoply of original articles, commentary and news, along with the most comprehensive listing of labor links available on the Internet.
Overview of Organization of These Pages and Instructions for Use
The Mooney Green Baker & Saindon Labor Page has a Contents Frame on the left and the Main Frame on the right. The Contents Frame is a Table of Contents that lets you navigate through the different pages that appear in the Main Frame. In general, you find what you are looking for on the Contents Frame, and that will take you where you want to go in the Main Frame.
The Main Frame of the Mooney Green Baker & Saindon Labor Page actually consists of a series of web pages, beginning with this Front Page. The Front Page includes the current articles and the "button bar," which links to the listings of U.S. and Canadian unions that are included on the other pages. An Archive Page includes some of the older articles that are still worth reading. There are a series of pages that actually include the listings of individual union websites through out the U.S. and Canada (grouped by their international union affiliation). Finally, there is a "Miscellaneous" page that includes links to unions outside the U.S. and Canada, includes a "Buy Union" directory to help you find union-made products, a "Boycott" directory to tell help you avoid products that are the target of an authorized boycott, and a number of other sites of interest to labor.
There are several ways to navigate these pages. If you are looking for a U.S. or Canadian labor union, you can locate its initials in the "Button Bar" below. That will bring you to the listing of the union, along with its affiliated entities (districts, locals, etc.). You can do the same thing from the Contents Frame on the left. Local unions are grouped by their international affiliation, and are usually listed in numerical order (although in a few cases, they are organized by state). At that point you can click the name of the specific entity whose web site you wish to visit, and you will open up a new window directly to that web site.
If you prefer, you can simply browse through the listings by clicking directly to the appropriate Main Frame page. These pages are as follows:

As more and more labor organizations realize the power of the Internet, the number of union web sites continues to increase. The result is that I continue to add links on an almost daily basis. To those who use this site, if you find any union links that I have not listed, please let me know and I will include them.
I continue to receive a steady stream of messages from people who work for non-union companies who have come to realize that, individually, they are powerless and without rights. These people now understand that they need to band together, to organize into unions, if they are to get a fair shake. Because they don't know how to do this on their own, they do the smart thing--they ask for help. I have tried to put them in touch with the appropriate labor unions to assist them in organizing and defending their rights. For those of you in this position--working for a non-union company who want to have some power to vindicate your rights and get what you rightly deserve--I encourage you to contact me. I will try to put you in touch with the right people. Ultimately, it will be up to you and your co-workers to decide how much you are willing to take from your employer before you decide to fight for your rights.
Please also let me know any updated links you may have, any labor disputes you wish to publicize, or anything else you think is important. You can contact me by E-mail . If you prefer, you can contact me by using the Reply Message Form.

As Cecil Roberts, President of the United Mine Workers of America said (and I will paraphrase since I do not have the text): "We have been in the midst of a class war for the last 15 years, but we have not been fighting back. It is time that we began to fight back!"
