> The first "virtual union" appeared in cyberspace yesterday as the State
> Government gave its blessing to a union network aimed at recruiting new
> members in the information technology industry.
>
> Unions launched the IT Workers Alliance with a Web site offering
> representation and a range of services to thousands of workers in an
> industry where unions have failed to gain a foothold. The head of the
> NSW Labor Council, John Roberston, said: "The Web site is the
> infrastructure for what may one day become a union every bit as powerful
> as the CFMEU or the AMWU."
>
> The Web site - www.itworkers-alliance.org - was launched in Sydney by
> the State minister responsible for information technology, Kim Yeadon,
> and will carry information on job opportunities, employers to avoid and
> assistance for negotiating contracts.
