UPDATE - in the fall we asked all LaborWeb locals to create an "About Local xxx" category because the "Contact Us" feature was planned to be removed on Sep 30. Many of Council 28 locals did just that, but the Contact Us feature has remained - and now this report from AFSCME - will stay in place. Consider how you might use "Contact Us" and "About Local XXX" or move your information back to

As you know, the LaborWeb setup tool currently requires that we enter a mailing address, phone number and e-mail address for each of our locals. This information then automatically populates the “Contact Us” category of public LaborWeb sites and is viewable to all visitors. This information was setup initially with your Field Office information as a default. You may have updated since - or

We’ll be showcasing LaborWeb at WFSE’s Convention in SeaTac in October. The booth will give us an opportunity to show off our Local LaborWeb sites, and create a greater awareness of this powerful tool.Make sure your local is looking good. We have one WebEx training remaining before Convention: September 24 at 7:00 PM. Register to attend online trainings at WFSE.org > LaborWeb > LaborWeb

The individual categories for the Hotline blog, President blog, LPA blog and Bargaining Unit blogs are just way too much - even for me! :) We tried posting the blogs as separate categories with the full text of each article viewable on the page. But the article headlines didn't really stand out, muddling the start and end of each article, and we weren't very happy with it. And the addition of

Live today are two new categories: Bargaining Unit Blogs and Council President Blog.Corrections BU and Ecology BU are our first two Bargaining Unit Blogs. Locals that are a single BU, like some HE Institutions and Parks may not be interested in this information, but you can't suppress a "category." So, if you'd like to remove this category, go to ARTICLES > SET ARTICLE ORDER. Click on the "

Many have asked that we provide information about modifying Council 28's new HOTLINE card for Local use - for officer business cards, for general information handout-cards.Below is a sample of the modifications: 2 variations on the front side of the card; and 2 variations on the back side of the card. You can order the cards through the Public Affairs

LABORWEB UPDATEIt's been six weeks since we launched LaborWeb at our first Communicators Conference. And since that time, we've held two standard monthly trainings, providing basic site administrator training, and a handful of one-on-one trainings, both at Headquarters and over the phone.It's simply a great start to our efforts at building a strong base of communications at the local

As articles from AFSCME or WFSE are syndicated, they are given a order number of 1 automatically - actually all articles are given a 1, then they appear in date order, most recent at the top of the list.But, at the local level, you may want to give precedence to your new article(s).One way to do that is to publish your article in the normal fashion. Then go to Articles > Set Article Order >

Articles syndicated to your site may appear on your home page, and you may not want this article on your home page.Most articles that are syndicated to your home page are also syndicated to a category, so feel free to remove - or suppress - the article from your home page (or from any category).Here's how:Go to ArticlesClick on Select Article OrderUse the drop-down list to select the category,

There's been a change on the process for reporting an issue - technical issues - on LaborWeb.A link has been added to the top right titled "Application Support." This directs the issue to our AFSCME support team.The "Report an Issue" link on the bottom left is not intended for our use, as this directs the issue to the AFL-CIO and they are the support for AFSCME.Hope that's not too much

We received an updated User Guide that is specifically for Locals (Tier 3 sites). It omits the references to Tier 2 administration (Tier 2).If you want to replace your user guide - you can download here (right column) or on WFSE.org > Communications Center > LaborWeb.

Did your local have information posted on WFSE.org? Do you need access to it so you can move it to your new home?The link to your old site is there. We moved it to the bottom of the left column so you can have some time to move the data you have posted there.This link is temporary and will expire April 30th, so get there and copy/paste the information you want to keep; and save those pdf's to

Page 9 of the User Guide provides information about assigning your domain name to your LaborWeb site.In the 2nd paragraph, it says "send an email to laborweb@afscme.org." This is incorrect.Send an email to "info@wfse.org." The process has changed and using the address above will delay completion of your request.

Remember, your primary administrator should have access to the Web Mail set up for your local.WebMail specifics is located in your binder under Tab 3. We are sending broadcast email to LaborWeb Users (admin, editors and contributors) through our service at WFSE.org. We have registered each of the primary addresses for active LaborWeb Locals already. But anyone can join this List-Serve by

At our training in Tacoma - users pointed out that organizing lists of officers was difficult, even impossible. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to sort.Some users tried entering their lists in the order they wanted to see; in reverse order; alphabetically, but the list were listing randomly.We've sent a request up the pipeline, but Cathy Green from Local 931 offers this simple solution you

As we mentioned at the conference, we are still working on getting our address simplified.Because LaborWeb is home to so many locals across the country, a systematic process for assigning URLs is used. This results in a chunky address, to say the least. So we wanted to simplify it, but it takes a number of steps to get there.So far, we've moved the council tier to the new domain - wfsec28.org -

On April 19th, we launched LaborWeb for WFSE Locals.Our first training at the Communicators Conference, held 4/19 in Tacoma, is the first step at creating a community of communicators - and LaborWeb is our anchor. LaborWeb is a stand-alone website for locals that includes syndication from Council and International.Training is key, so we've established a number of options.First, register to
