To Alliance@IBM supporters:
The Alliance is the only organization that advocates and supports IBM employees and ex-employees.
In fact, there are few like it in the
Information Technology field.
It is always difficult to keep an organization like this alive, but as a supporter you know how important it is that we exist.
We are calling on you today to help keep us alive another year by joining as a member
or associate member.
See our online forms below.
As our membership has dropped, it is imperative that we gain new members
or this organization and web site
will cease to exist.
Help us keep our organizing
and advocacy work alive!

Join today at the links below:

To Tech Workers

Tired of not being listened to
by corporate management?
Tired of wages declining?
Tired of jobs being offshored
Maybe it's time to organize
contact us at: ibmunionalliance@gmail.com

SOS!
To Sam Palmisano:
Stop Off Shoring IBM USA jobs!
No tax breaks for companies that shift jobs offshore. Full transparency of how many jobs have been offshored, from what IBM US division and location, and where the jobs have been shifted to.

More Spotlights

If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand..
It never did and never will... --Fredrick Douglass--
