Unions negotiating pay cuts
In Poland a lot of unions are negotiating pay cuts and other austerity measures as a reaction to crisis hysteria. In the US I heard of some similar moves.
internet and workplace struggle
I am currently looking into the links between different online workplace forums, such as campaign sites, blogs and more long term branch or "counter-corporation" forums. And I would be very glad if you can provide some links to blogs and forums and also tell me about some experiences if you got any.

Apparently there is a small union in Spain which has a large Bordigist influence, named SUT (Workers Unity and Solidarity - nodo50.org/sindicatosut). It is a split from Solidaridad Obrera, a small anarchist union which itself split from the CGT. The SUT is small but seems to have some workplace presence - including amongst the Madrid Metro cleaners, who were recently on a tough strike.
Worst logo competition

The AF: Looks like the logo of a fire brigade - someone being pulled out of a burning building. Or a gangsta handshake over the Rocky Mountains.

Solfed: The face of anarcho-syndicalism has terrifyingly dead eyes.
