Teamsters Make Fascinating Use of Streaming Video Technology

Last month, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters made cutting-edge use of the free streaming video service UStream - which I believe we here at Prometheus Labor Communications had turned them onto last fall - to a live broadcast of a debate between their aircraft industry organizers and leadership of the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Organization. The event was called to help inform workers in an Oregon-based unit that is trying to decert from AMFA (translation for non-union folks: leave their old union) and join the Teamsters. Very interesting from both a technology perspective and a union democracy perspective.
