British union TUC reports that Union Island will launch in Second Life on May Day (May 1).  Events planned include:

• Celebrating May Day with a dance party, hosted by a live DJ from Second Life's club Fracture.
• Training for union activists in how to get more out of Second Life through networking with others and designing their own 3D creations, and how to run better websites for their unions.
• A photo and video exhibition for the DGB's Mindestlohn campaign for a national minimum wage in Germany. May Day sees the culmination of a street party tour of Germany, and German trade unionists will be on hand at a Second Life replica of the real life touring set to discuss the tour and campaign online with supporters from around the country.
• Themed surgeries for union organisers in Union Island's virtual bar, where trade unionists can swap practical tips from around the world over a pint of virtual beer from the UK Workers' Beer Company.
• Guided gallery tours of '5 Photographers', a virtual art exhibition of 20th century New York photography, presented by American arts group Labour Arts Inc.
