Union Websites (and online apps) large and small

That most labour unions in Canada include in their service mandate education of members, as well as progressive public policy advocacy, has certainly meant everyone in Canada has benefited: our society is simply more caring (Canadian political rhetoric rarely reaches the idiocy we hear from wacky Americans like Ted Nugent: "I think that Barack Hussein Obama should be put in jail. It is clear that Barack Hussein Obama is a communist.)

Web Networks is proud to have served the Canadian labour sector and its allies with Internet tools since day one of the world wide web. We recently launched websites for three labour groups:

 CEP Local 707

This local had a highly motivated and talented staff person who was eager to self-manage a new website, and providing the local with a fully configured Drupal content management system was just the ticket. It's always satisfying to meet and exceed the expectations of small groups and their staff.

Saskatchewan Government and Employees Union

Regional unions absolutely need easy to navigate websites to update their geographically dispersed membership. With this project, we upgraded SGEU's legacy "ActionApp" content management system to Drupal, created a lively new design, and gave visitors a cool way to scroll through news items on the front page.

Canadian Auto Workers--"CAW Connected"

I admire CAW's fiesty (and strategic) approach to political action. The CAW Connected project was amazing as we were able to upgrade the Drupal CiviCRM "Constituent Relationship Management" software (imagine an online rolodex with e-mail capabilities, for those old enough to remember rolodexes) to include searching and mapping of subscribers by federal electoral district. Messages can then be sent to all subscribers, as well as customized to include content tailored to a specific federal riding. Very handy in an election or by-election.  How cool is that!
