Strike blog breaks new ground

For the fist time, UNISON members in Scotland could phone, email or text news updates, photos and videos to the website.

A 'google map' showed hundreds of messages of support from across the UK. With help from colleagues at London HQ, Communications Officer Chris Bartter, Communications Chair John Stevenson and new staff member Malcolm Burns set up special strike day pages and updated them constantly throughout the day.

Members could post messages to the blog and send in photos and videos to the site or to Picasa and YouTube. Click here to see all this.
