Global Labour Directo Day
What better occasion than Labor (in the USA and Canada) to launch the Global Labour Directory of Directories?
This is not a listing of trade union web sites but a directory of such listings. One of the four directories has more than four times as many listings as Yahoo in this field
If you've just launched a labour web site - or if you want to further promote an existing site -- use the on-line form to promote your site to all the top labour directories on-line.
The question of a comprehensive and authoritative labour directory on the Web has not yet been settled. But here are some comments and pointers, as well as critiques of some sites which could be doing better. [EL] www.solinet.org/LEE/gldod.html Global Labournet

There has been a sharp rise in visits to International Viewpoint's own web site since mid-May. Visitors came from at least 47 countries (compared to "only" 32 in the previous period)
The USA is still the largest readership group, with 11% of hits (down trom 30%), followed by Sweden, Norway, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Turkey and Japan. New hits were recorded from Slovenia, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Estonia and Latvia.
A growing number of webmasters (most not connected to the Fourth International have created links to the site. Special thanks to Labour Left Briefing in Britain, and those in Spain, Finland, Britain, USA, Denmark, Belgium and elsewhere for encouraging free speech and democracy on Internet!
International Viewpoint now receives more visitors than our web host, the Swedish fourth internationalist weekly Internationalen. That site received 4,700 visits between May 16 and July 15, compared to 3,500 in the previous two months. Webmaster Peter Lingren reports that, "Swedish Fl supporters have a strong presence at some Volvoplants but hardly any members at the IT-giant Ericsson, But the number of visitors from the second company is higher. Maybe because Ericsson is planning to layoff 8,000 employees!"
