>What better occasion than Labour Day (in the USA and Canada) to

>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.
>
>I look forward to receiving your comments and suggestions regarding
>the Global Labour Directory of Directories.
