I’ve been working on Voices of Labor for over 5 years now (maybe 6). This year, things started moving. With my book and spending time on Facebook and Twiter, I’ve more than doubled the number of people coming to the site daily. And many of you are coming every day. Knowing that the site grows … Read more
I wanted to give you a few updates. I know you don’t read this, but it makes me feel better. You will notice a new pop-up. I have set up a mailing list with MailChimp. I’ll use this list to give updates about the site, labor history shorts, book announcements, and a cat photo or … Read more
So for those on the desktop, the major changes seem to be working fine. But for the mobile users, there are still some issues (mainly with the store) As you can see, there is a new theme, that is more open and looks better. It is also a better-optimized theme. The old theme just had … Read more
Over the Christmas break (that some people get) I’ll be working on updating a bunch of stuff on the website. A new, easier to read theme, new store software, plug-ins and some other fixes that have been needed. This will cause some downtime but I hope to spread it out so there is not too much … Read more

I’m asking folks to tell their friends, their co-workers, you Union Brothers and Sisters, your mom, dad, and anyone who you think could learn a little about Union History about the page. You can follow us … Read more
So, the store crashed this morning, not from use, that’s for sure. Anyway, I’ll be fixing things as fast as I can. Our Union is having their annual conference so it’s going to take awhile.. Steve
Sorry that I’ve been having some down time on the site. Hostgator blames Cloudflare, Cloudflare blames Hostgator. How strang in this day and age where no one wants to take the blame. Anyway, I think I’ve got it going, but if you get gateway errors or other issues, please send me an email at me@steve-sears.net … Read more
