We have made contact with UNI, the Global IT Union, which the ASU is affiliated to. This is the union that coordinated the strike against IBM on Second Life.

A request has come through from Turkish IBM employees who have done a fantastic job of unionising the workplace (80% across IBM nationally!) but who are having similar trouble as us in getting IBM to recognise their union.

They have asked us to write to IBM management urging them to recognise the union. You can do that online at www.uniglobalunion.org/uniindep.nsf/ProtestTurkeyIBM?openform.

Please take the time to do this as there are very real opportunities for global cooperation in campaigns targetting IBM.
