CAN-LABOR has grown quickly (over 100 subscribers within three days of beginning). CAN-LABOR is as diverse as the student and labor movements we are a part of. CAN-LABOR brings together undergraduate, graduate, and high school students; professors, teaching assistants, and college/university staff; and union, community, and alternative media organizers. And the bredth and depth of our discussion reflects this!

WHY CAN-LABOR?

CAN-LABOR was created to fulfill a growing need for a North America-wide discussion between labor and student activists about labor organizing, including solidarity work.

CAN-LABOR hopes to build upon the more regional discussions within groups like the Student Labor Action Coalition (in the Midwest), the Student Labor Solidarity Network (in New England), the Canadian Federation of Students, and the Democratic Socialists of America. We also hope people who haven't yet had the opportunity to discuss labor activism on their campuses will subscribe and contribute.

WHAT DOES CAN-LABOR DO?

CAN-LABOR provides a forum for discussing nitty-gritty, practical matters of labor organizing, including solidarity. The discussion is open to all people who want to trade experiences, tips, and questions and answers about labor organizing. (If you want to partake in a discussion on student/labor issues that is *not* only about organizing, please subscribe to Work-At-Edu by sending a message to listserv@yorku.ca with a blank subject line and a body that says: SUBSCRIBE Work-at-Edu Your Name )

Also, we want the primary focus of CAN-LABOR to be on how you are organizing for the long-term, not "action alerts".
