Situation and working environment • strike situation, where results migth come very quikly and the data change all the time (it matter of minutes when and how to react) • firms, which were in strike or going to be ”next ones”, needed to be informed all the time • to get information should not be dependent to where you are • you can follow the prosess – all have the same information
Technical readiness – strike in ”basic chemistry sector” • E-mail – every shop steward has a e-mail address anfd acsess to internet; at work, at home or both • we also used Hotmail-service, because one employer did not allow entering to the shop stewards room • good page creation tools – quick updating possibility (FrontPage, Dreamweaver, FTP)
Readiness? • using internet was a ???? decision – we needed a fast way to inform our members and specially our shop stewards – Lakko-Reaktio (Strike-News) • internet-service´s task was also to fullfill media´s intrest– we didn´t use so much fax or telephone to share information or pressreleases • we have developed our website for long time as a action tool, not only as a information sharing tool • Examples:Frontpage | Strike-News | www-news | PDF-format | Links | In different languages
Unions www- news • list of e-mailaddresses • direct links • response possibility
Important papers (guides) in PDF-format Also in swedish
Limits • negotions situation, something must hide? • different kind of browsers – remember click ”Reload” • To give response or other opinions (or facts) to negotiators did´t work – no ”connection” from meeting room? Not interactive? • everyone has not connection open all the time – are we using SMS-technic in the future? (and WAP/GPRS –technics)!
