This "why join a union?" video from UK public services union and SEIU global partner, UNISON, shows the importance of labor unions for people who work, thanks in large part to footage of President Obama.

It's pretty powerful for a 60-second video.

Interactive Web Apps

I also wanted to link to a great campaign UNISON has going right now, called A Million Voices for Public Services. (h/t to Creative Unions blog for drawing my attention to it).

The interactive map on the campaign website makes use of new publicly-available data the UK Government has released, allowing you to see how your community or a certain area would be affected with public service cuts. Check it out at www.UNISON.org.UK/Million/.
