On Kos’ new, non-front page diary, he’s discussing the ability to “favorite” an author in the upcoming version of Daily Kos. This is terrific news, as the Labor Diary Rescue is still little more than a roundup of labor diaries as many of which have gone past the time that you can recommend them. But as many of the diarists I rescue are regulars such as Seth D, PublicD, Muskegon Critic, Tasini, rjones2818, and a whole slew of other talented pro-union writers, they deserve to have more people paying attention to their work. So it will be nice to see them get more people following their work.
The Labor Diary Rescue is done every Monday and Thursday night barring a bad internet connection, my insane work schedule, or Acts of God. In order to be rescued, you must have a pro-union diary with the word “union” in the tag line, have less than 100 comments, and not have made the rec list or any front-page diary rescue. Diaries are below the fold.
Six diaries are up for rescue tonight.
First up, Employee Free Choice Act writes about the IBEW and Indiana teachers’ contributions to getting EFCA passed in IBEW: One of many unions fighting for EFCA and Indiana Academics Take Action!.
TomP newest work is Reducing Economic Inequality: Obama v. Specter.
Union Review tells about the need for labor to work within the netroots in Rant: Let's Blog About Labor!
Seth D dispels some of the myths the right is putting out about EFCA in Study: Majority Sign-Up Works, Without Coercion, for Thousands of Workers in Illinois.
ProgressiveSouth shows how Democratic lobbyists are turning their backs on labor in Podesta Group strikes it rich ... and fights against labor.
Enjoy the diaries and treat the comments as an open thread.
