ii. A small step for unions, but a giant step for global labour<br>
emancipation?: Unite the Union's USI mediates the established union<br>
world entering into the networked organising (networganizing)<br>
era!!<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=k6BmWC5lr8Y" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=k6BmWC5lr8Y</a><br>
<br>
and this is a nice article by Walton Patland introducing the ON:<br>
<a href="http://www.scoop.it/t/networked-labour/p/4017080234/2014/03/05/karl-marx-on-facebook-what-is-the-ideology-of-your-social-network?hash=fd4c16ef-09d3-468d-a043-3b8de2a28135" target="_blank">http://www.scoop.it/t/networked-labour/p/4017080234/2014/03/05/karl-marx-on-facebook-what-is-the-ideology-of-your-social-network?hash=fd4c16ef-09d3-468d-a043-3b8de2a28135</a><br>
<br>
the ON, is built by a USi as a free node on Lorea network. In this<br>
framework they also, in collaboration with MayFirst/People Link<br>
provide server space for floss distance education software<br>
BigBlueButton (BBB) for the use of their members as well as grassroots<br>
activist. BBB allows -if there is a date space enough to handle the<br>
traffic- teleconferencing for infinite number of participants with<br>
video and audio connection. This means, if well organised, mass<br>
self-organising and education platform for workers and activists would<br>
work efficiently. BBB also allows users to record their meetings, use<br>
screen sharing, power point presentation, file sharing, multi lingual<br>
chat so on during the conferences. If the new technology being<br>
developed now for online simultaneous interpretation system also<br>
incorporated to this platform, can' t see any reason for this project<br>
not becoming a mesh network pulling many transnational labour an<br>
justice activists into it take part and use it to organise globally.<br>
<br>
there are already several active work groups created on USi's ON, can<br>
be seen here: <a href="https://on.usilive.org/groups/all" target="_blank">https://on.usilive.org/groups/all</a><br>
