EMF launches first workers blog in Europe
The workers at GM Europe are today taking the first steps in facing management head on by using a tool often overlooked by trade unions – the blog.
The blog will be used as a tool for GM workers, not only in Europe, but around the world, to share information, comment on news related issues and as a counter to the various blogs posted by GM management.
The blog will be hosted by the EMF on a separate website and also linked directly to the EMF website. It combines comments with articles and it is possible to upload pictures and files for the use of the blog visitors. The blog contains news from the factory floor, and concerns the real problems faced by the workers and it talks about what is really going on at GM, without the usual filter of the GM PR department.
The blog is supported by the Hans Bockler Stiftung.
