    Union "dot orgs" come of age ILO  
    "Am I being paid what I should be, for the work I'm doing?" is a question many people ask but often find difficult to answer. Now, Internet sites dedicated to workplace issues can resolve this and other queries. Writer Andrew Bibby examines how workers and employers are navigating the information highway on bread and butter issues.

    //syndikat, an on-line trade union organization which links IT professionals in the notoriously individualistic new technology sector, encourages both members and would-be members to check for themselves how their pay compares with the industry average, by using "Salary Checker" software on its Web site. The service is free, the principle - as with shareware software - being that users can make a voluntary donation.
