Dear
Brothers and Sisters,
Join
trade unionists, educators and workers this November from
the US and around the world as they debate, discuss and learn
about new communication technology and the development of
a labor media movement.
LaborTech has had conferences since 1990, which brings together
labor video, computer, labor media activists and labor educators
to advance knowledge and use of the Internet and multi-media
by working people. This year, we are also including an educational
/academic component with papers about labor, media and telecommunications.
How is new technology being used to exploit and spy on working
people and how can labor use these new technologies such as
blogging and portals like youtube to help organize, build
solidarity and link up locally, nationally and internationally.
The ongoing battle of labor to survive against the corporate
onslaught and media blockade requires the development of an
independent labor media strategy to defend working people
and their struggles.
