CBC Lockout, Worker Use of the Internet

As I thought about the previous post I did on the NWA Mechanics weblog, I started to realize that I hadn't put much together on the Canadian workers at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, CBC. This group of workers and supporters, granted - started out with an advantage by being in the media already, has pulled together an amazing package of communication. This is the union's amazing site: [CbcOnTheLine.ca | http://cbcontheline.ca/index.html] and here is the union's site to the public about general news: [CbcUnlocked | http://www.cbcunlocked.com/artman/publish/cat_index_news.shtml] They have worker weblogs, a webcam, a lockout activity calendar and other goodies on the unofficial site: [CbcUnplugged | http://cbcunplugged.blogware.com/blog] - [podcasts | http://cbcunplugged.blogware.com/blog/Podcasts], internet [radio | http://cbcunplugged.blogware.com/blog/UnpluggedRadio] and they are using the tag "cbclockout" in [Flickr | http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/cbclockout/] It looks like [Tod Maffin | http://todmaffin.com/] is the engine behind the unofficial site, I will invite him here.
