Launche of the blog

Today the European Metalworkers Federation (EMF)

launches the first workers’ blog in Europe

The workers at GM Europe are today taking the first steps in facing management head on by using a tool often overlooked by trade unions – the blog.

The blog will be used as a tool for GM workers, not only in Europe, but around the world, to share information, comment on news related issues and as a counter to the various blogs posted by GM management.

The blog will be hosted by the EMF on a separate website and also linked directly to the EMF website. It combines comments with articles and it is possible to upload pictures and files for the use of the blog visitors.

What is a blog?

A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of blogs. The term "blog" is derived from "Web log."

It seems that even the biggest names in business are affected by economic problems we are facing. General Motors has been the top seller of automobiles in the world for 80 years. But in 2008 it lost that distinction to Toyota, who sold more cars than the American giant. GM saw an 11 percent drop in sales in 2008, but it's not alone. EBay's sales dropped an incredible 31 percent as consumer spending took a nosedive. Intel is also in trouble and is shutting down three facilities and will likely cut 5,000 to 6,000 jobs. Intel employees might want to consider getting a payday loan while they still have a payday coming up. For fans of Buffalo wings, which are gaining popularity, brace yourselves for higher prices. Because of a decrease in the supply of chicken wings amid an increase in demand for cheap food, the price of spicy wings is likely to go up.

I think its a necessary way for the auto workers, in order to improve his life. I wish you the best. Agustin, from Buenos Aires.
Jag hoppas verkligen att manga kommer att anvanda bloggen! Lycka till!
