OUR COMPLIMENTS TO AFGE COUNCIL 222
We are always on the lookout for well-done union web sites, by which we mean (1) easy to navigate, (2) loaded with useful information, and (3) timely. AFGE’s council representing HUD employees across the country deserves recognition for its web page updating everyone on the status of all its midterm bargaining activity. It makes it easy to find an issue, it provides the user with access to all the key documents related to that bargaining, and at times it even contains a short comment on the core disputed issue. This is worlds better than even most national union web sites, e.g., it provides users direct access to all counterproposals, it relieves the user from having to search through all the national union’s communications to find the last word on the midterm bargaining issue, and the page is not so stuffed with words as to be a turn off. Bravo 222!
I’m proud of AFGE Local 222’s bargaining website and FEDSMILL for putting a spotlight on this very important model of good Union site design. Happy 4th of July (belately) to you all!
