      The International Federation of Building and Wood Workers
strongly supports the creation of a new TLD - “.union”
As the organized labour is one of the biggest non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) in the world, it would be only natural if it
had its clear identity on the Internet. It needs to be emphasized
that the Internet use among trade unionists and their
organizations is growing very fast. It is used for the defence of
human and trade union rights, education, development of
collective bargaining, promotion of occupational safety and
health, protection of environment, advancement of women,
abolition of child labour and many other causes and purposes.
Therefore it is important that the trade union movement is
conspicuously present on the Internet and has a say in how the
system is run. The International Federation of Building and
Wood Workers, IFBWW, representing 11 million members in
281 trade unions in 124 countries with HQ in Geneva,
Switzerland, would like once again strongly voice its support for
the creation of a new TLD - “.union”
