Has the alliance considered a paypal link? An easier way for some people to pay you. Just a thought. I am happy to contribute and that would be an easy way for many people. -StillanIBMer-

Let's keep the focus on the rumor of job cuts in the USA and the World; and other subjects, pertinent to IBM workers.

The Alliance@IBM is more than just a web site. While the web site is our virtual union hall,
we do have very real things as well.
We have a staff of one national coordinator and one webmaster.
We have an office, telephones, copy machine, mailing supplies and organizing material.
All things that require money to pay the bills.
If you want to see this organization gain strength then please join the Alliance.
If you want IBM to pay attention to employee concerns we need your membership.
If you want a better future for IBMers and information technology workers we need your membership. It's that simple.
