9 million bloggers

On my way up to Newcastle this morning for a meeting with the College regarding the Organising Academy so only time for a quick train blog.

Today the AFL-CIO, which represents 9m workers in the US launches its new blog, which you can read here: www.aflcio.org/blog

The blog marks a major departure for the AFL-CIO, moving away from the straight 'news' content of its main site to an edgier 'views and opinions' approach. Will be interesting to see how it develops.

Should also mention while I'm on the subject of blogs (and the Organising Academy) that the Academy has also launched a new blog (see side bar and www.organisingacademy.blogspot.com).
