Media Officer Peter Lewis has continued to assist Officers interact with the mainstream media as well as maintaining the trade union movement's own voice through LaborNet and Workers Online. CampaignsDuring 2001 the Labor Council ran many campaigns to support the organising activities of affiliates. The highlight was undoubtedly the campaign for workers compensation entitlements, where Peter worked with affiliates to dominate the media with targeted industrial action and activity. He also coordinated the online campaign around workers compensation, which included a massive email assault that led to the Parliament House server blocking incoming emails. Workers OnlineWorkers Online has now completed its third year, passing 100 issues in June, an occasion marked by a commemorative book - 'The Ship of Tools' published by Pluto Press. It has become compulsory reading within the labour movement and is syndicated to more than a dozen trade union websites. Peter is working to secure the long-term future of Workers Online by extending the network of contributors to the publication in 2002. Information TechnologyPeter has also played a leading role in the development of Labor Council's two big online initiatives for 2001. The IT Workers Alliance, which he will be further developing to make it a hub of information for workers in the IT industry who may have little experience of unionism. He will also be assisting the further development of Bosswatch which, as previously stated is an ambitious project to build a corporate database of information about Australia's major companies and allow workers to track the interests of directors and shareholders. Throughout the year Peter also maintained a network of Media Officers from across the movement, who met regularly to share ideas, develop strategies and co-ordinate the messages coming out of the NSW trade union movement. He also assisted affiliates and the ACTU to distil their messages in the lead-up to the November federal election. Previous
