A Quick Look at the Communicate or Die Blog

Communicate or Die's mission is "to build a network of passionate individuals who are serious about discussing and developing solutions that allow unions to realize the full potential of Internet technology."

In the blog's first post, Idle Pens Are Not Mightier Than Swords, (March 29, 2005), Steve Dondley, Pioneer Valley Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO, wrote

Most of us recognize that the American labor movement is not in a healthy state. The recent, widespread rumblings for reform makes clear that there is general agreement that we cannot afford to let our condition fester much longer. The past few months have been a time of introspection for labor leaders, a time to ask ourselves what unhealthy behaviors and unfortunate setbacks got us here to begin with. Then, once this period of self-reflection is over, we must change---or die.

The blog is probably the only publication that monitors labor's web communications. It would be more helpful if the blog maintained a directory of web publications.
