Scotland's Communications and Campaigns Committee reps were excited to meet labour web guru Eric Lee at UNISON National Communications Seminar in Glasgow last month.

Eric has pushed the boundaries in web campaigning, helping win victories for workers around the world by harnessing a world-wide network of trade unionists to email and campaign in other ways against the excesses of employers.

We in Scotland saw just how powerful that was when trade unionists from as far away as New Zealand sent messages during the nursery nurses' dispute.
