6/21/09 - 6/28/09

This was a difficult week where we watched a fatal train accident in Washington, DC take nine lives (three of which are known union members), and injured many others. Before most of us could absorb that, we heard about entertainers dying one after another. There was a weird cloud over the news of a Governor using state money to see his mistress in Argentina, Iran clamping down on her citizens seeking democracy and ... the list goes on. On UnionReview.com a lot of new correspondents took up the challenge to report and post on things they are working with -- in fact, most of the stories that hit the site in the last week came from others. For that, I say thank you and ask you to keep up the excellent work.

If you missed anything that hit the site in the last week, here are all the stories archived in one place. As always, feel free to comment, copy and paste to your own sites, and pass this stuff along.

In Solidarity,
