Global Labour Directory of Directories

By Eric Lee

Labour Day (in the USA and Canada) saw the launch the Global Labour Directory of Directories.

This is not another listing of trade union websites but is a directory of such listings. It should serve several purposes:

  1. If you're looking for a trade union website, this is the place to begin. Didn't find it at Yahoo? We can show you four directories with a lot more listings -- including one with more than four times as many listings as Yahoo in this field.

  2. If you've just launched a labour website -- or if you want to further promote an existing site -- this is the place for you. We've even included an online form to allow you, with a single click, to promote your site to all the top labour directories online.

  3. Finally, we think that the question of a comprehensive and authoritative labour directory on the Web has not yet been settled. (Though some people are working very, very hard on this.) So we've included some comments and pointers, as well as critiques of some sites which could be doing better. If you run an online labour directory, or are thinking about starting one, we suggest you read this.
