The International Labor Communications Association, founded in 1955, is the professional organization of labor communicators in North America. The ILCA’s several hundred members produce publications with a total circulation in the tens of millions.

Founded in 1994 in Hong Kong by independent trade unionist Han Dongfang, China Labour Bulletin (CLB) has been actively promoting independent, democratic union organizing, and the protection of labour rights and standards in mainland China.

All of CLB¡¦s activities are based on the principle of furthering and supporting Chinese workers to claim their labour rights and secure their livelihood.

The underlying foundation of our work is contained in ILO Conventions No.87 and 98, namely the right to freedom of association and the right to free collective bargaining.

The "Friends of Labor" web site exists to share local perspectives on issues of importance to the harbor community. We're family, friends, homeowners and business people from throughout the Los Angeles harbor area who support the tenants of "live better, work union, shop local." Our intentions are to provide factual information on the issues at hand, to respond to many of the misleading stories popping up on anti-labor web sites, and to offer an alternate opinion to articles in print publications that are under increasing influence from major retail groups.

Contract negotiations between the ILWU and Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) in 2002 are what inspired our group to form.

Increasingly, the name “Global Unions” is being used for the major institutions of the international trade union movement. Global Unions comprises:

• the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), which represents most national trade union centres. Most individual unions relate to the ICFTU through their national union centre.
  
• the ten Global Union Federations (GUFs),the international representatives of unions organising in specific industry sectors or occupational groups (EI, ICEM, IFJ, ITGLWF, PSI, ITF, IFBWW, IMF, IUF, & UNI – for full names, see below).
  
• the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD

An individual union will usually belong to a national union centre in its country, which will then affiliate to a world body such as the ICFTU. The same individual union will also usually affiliate to a GUF relevant to the industry where it has members. Often, unions with members in many different industries will belong to more than one GUF.

Global Unions is also the name of this website, which is jointly owned and managed by the 12 Global Unions organisations.

The website gives its members the ability to draw the attention of their partners, their members, and the press to the news they produce and the campaigns they run.

We broadcast news about labor issues, ranging from deregulation, discrimination and union organizing to healthcare, housing and international labor solidarity. Mainstream media usually censors labor news. We intend to change that.
