Welcome to ChicagoUnionNews, a just-launched free online publication providing news and commentary about - and of importance to - Chicago-area unions and their members. So why are we here, and why now? Pretty simple, really. There are hundreds of thousands of union members in the Chicago region - from pipefitters to police, teachers to truckers - yet mainstream press coverage of organized labor is pretty haphazard. And what better time to start up a site like this. Given the sorry state of the economy - and the pro-union bent of many leaders on the national political stage - the labor movement is at an historic juncture. This publication aims to consolidate stories being reported in other media outlets - and offer original content that's timely, relevant and interesting. The goal: make ChicagoUnionNews a one-stop shop for anyone wanting to know what's going on here with the labor movement. You don't have to worry about an agenda. ChicagoUnionNews is independent, not affiliated with any union, political or business group. We accept advertising but won't let that influence editorial decisions. Our main care is you, the reader. By the way, we'd like to hear from you - your thoughts on the site (which is a work in progress) and on the issues churning out there. For general inquiries, please email info@ChicagoUnionNews.com. To send a letter to the editor for possible publication on the web site, please email info@ChicagoUnionNews.com and clearly mark the correspondence "Letter to the Editor." To provide a confidential news tip or send along a press release, please use tips@ChicagoUnionNews.com. To reach a live person on the telephone, you may try (773) 706-3207. We appreciate your readership as we move forward. We will strive to provide a quality product for you.-Robert Herguth, editor-in-chief - Link to website below:
