AFSCME Local 952

I’ve complete the social networking upgrades to AFSCMELocal952.org.  Posts here will automatically move to facebook, and be republished to twitter as well.  With so many of our members on facebook this should increase site visibility.

The upgrade to WordPress is complete.  The new AFSCMELocal952.org is a completely modern Web 2.0 site.  The first big change is that the site is no longer managed solely by one person.  WordPress allows the members of our Local to post content.  You may reply to posts on the board, share them on social networking sites, and even be able to author your own posts.

The new site also automates many of the tasks that were manual on the old site, meeting calendars and RSS feed being the first two.  The addition of categories and tags allows content to be accessed in a variety of ways, and searching for content is now possible as well.

The other big upgrade is a bulletin board/forum.  Following the menu link to “Forum” you’ll be redirected to the bulletin board site.  After registration you’ll be confirmed as a member, and able to post discussion topics and interact with other Local members, discuss issues and read important Union business.

Please enjoy the new AFSCMELocal952.org

Jason Otto, Secretary

Testing and set up is underway for a new bulletin board feature. The ability to post online messages and hold discussions here on our website could be very useful. Hopefully in the future this will become an important tool for running our Local. Visit our new discussion board and register. Only members will be allowed to post messages in the boards while the software is being set up and the site design updated to include a permanent link.

AFSCME Local 952 now has a working RSS feed.  Click the RSS feed link here or at the bottom of the page, and you can receive RSS updates on union events.  A RSS feed is a quick and simple way to get news updates delivered straight to your computer.  No need to constantly check for news, the most relevant and important items will always appear in you RSS reader or internet browser.  [More information about RSS]

AFSCME Local 952 welcomes you to our new website.  AFSCMELocal952.org replaces all previous internet resources with one concise location.  On this site you’ll find meeting information, officer contact information, important links and most importantly anti-privatization information.
