January 14, 2007 - January 27, 2008    

The last couple weeks of the new year were as exciting and informative as all the weeks prior in the union movement. As always there is more out there than we are getting, but below is a sampling of everything that hit Union Review in the last couple weeks. 

If anyone sees that something should have been written about on Union Review but wasn't, please either let me know or get a user name and password and start posting stuff on your own. 

Thank you for your continued support in making Union Review an important part of the union movement in the United States. 

In Solidarity,
