What would new social and networked emancipatory union look like and act?

“The time is past due for new forms of association that can steer the world away from its destruction The greatest hacks of our time may be forms of organising free collective expression, so that abstraction serves the people” [Wark]

from “Workers of the world unite!” [Marx & Engels, 1848]

to “Hackers of the world, GNUnite!” [Soderberg & Dafermos]

and “Sysadmins of the world, unite!” [Assange]

Exposing wrongdoings in the workplace

Initially to scan and analyse leaked documents released by Wikileaks, as well as other groups like Anonymous, LiveLeaks. We be looking for large scale violations against producer, designer, users and consumer rights; such as stolen data, planned obsolescence, illegal and dangerous material use, capture and misuse of user-costumer data including selling the data to companies, production related threats to workers and public health. To feed in global actions or support ongoing union actions. In Collaboration: https://www.labourleaks.org/WorkingGroup:  https://on.usilive.org/groups/profile/322/labourleaks

UnionUpgrading

GNUnion will help all other forms of unions at all organizational levels (base-membership-shop floor level-organization, management) to realize necessary organizational and networked transformations to become erempowered organized networks, strongly connected to the grassroots and society. We provide unions withresources, links, ties, actions, exchanges, social media skill-sharing and self-education campaigns.Workgroup: https://on.usilive.org/groups/profile/439/unionupgrading
