=== Requested articles ===
* [[2006 Oaxaca protests]] A significant industrial conflict in the Mexican state of [[Oaxaca]] in 2006. Currently partially addressed at [[Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca]] and [[2006 Oaxaca protests]]. A massive expansion is needed in the page on their union ([[Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación]]), the subject of major internal contention.
* [[Job security]], worker's sense of having continuity of employment resulting from the possession of special skill.
** [[Overqualification]] affects ''Job Security'',
* [[African Regional Organisation of the International Trade Union Confederation]] Regional organisation of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. Nothing.
* [[ITUC-Asia Pacific]] Regional organisation of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. Nothing.
* [[Trade Union Confederation of the Americas]] Regional organisation of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. Nothing.
** I've made a start on the three ICFTU regional organisations, but all could use expansion.  Most of the information I could find on the American organisation is in Spanish, so that one could use from anyone who can read Spanish (I can't.)  The lists of affiliated national unions (I couldn't find an online source for a list for Africa) also provide a collection of red links for us to make blue ;-) -- [[User:AJR|AJR]] 20:05, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
* [[Union federation]]
** Now redirected to [[National trade union center]], which already existed and might be a better place for an article, since some national [[umbrella organization]]s call themselves ''[[confederation]]s'', e.g. the [[Swedish Trade Union Confederation]]. The article in question really needs improvement, though. / [[User:Alarm|Alarm]] 22:09, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
* [[Labour council]]
* [[Trade unions in Burkina Faso]]. I know very few on this subject because they were in the uderground during the revolution, but they're widely considered as very powerful before and after.
* [[Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Moldova]]
* [[International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes]] - part of the [[World Bank]]
* [[Migrant farmworker]] / [[Migratory labor]]
* [[Okey O'Dell]] A crucial part of the Hardin county onion pickers strike, who is also in the Ohio labor union hall of fame.

===Requests for expansion===
* [[AFL–CIO]] America's largest federation of unions. An important contributor to the U.S. Democratic party. Stub.
* [[Congress of South African Trade Unions]] Played important political role as ally of the ANC. Short article.
* [[General Confederation of Labour (France)]] The major French trade union needs some expansion as of November 2011.
* [[European Trade Union Confederation]] (ETUC) Similar to the ICFTU regional organisations. Very active in lobbying the EU. <s>Nothing.</s>
* <s>[[Bill Haywood]] Important leader in the [[Industrial Workers of the World]] in the early 20th century; this article could use some expansion, but it especially needs to be cleaned up and cited. --[[User:JerryOrr|JerryOrr]] 22:23, 8 February 2006 (UTC)</s>
** moving to '''Requests for review/attention''' --[[User:JerryOrr|JerryOrr]] 21:41, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
* [[International Labour Organization]] Very brief text on U.N. organization that has meant a lot for working conditions in developing countries.
* [[International labor standards]] Defined as the ILO "core conventions". We have nothing on this.
* [[Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions]] Potentially important labour organisation in Iraq. - now a stub.
* [[Nigeria Labour Congress]] One of Africa's strongest trade union organisations, with a history of actively working for democracy in the country. Article now created, proofreading and expansion needed.
* [[Picketing]]
* [[Strike action]] A reasonable article, but nowhere near as comprehensive as it could be.
* [[Ver.di]] With 2.6 million members, this German trade union is the largest independent trade union in the world. Stub now created, more needed.
* [[Occupational safety and health]] The Wikipedia article only deals with U.S. legislation. A lot more could be done.
** There's also [[Occupational safety and health]], which is more general, describing principles rather than specific national regulations (but is still a victim of systematic bias, it only specifically mentions US & EU practices.)
* [[Asbestos and the law]] An attempt to do just that. 
*[[London dock strike, 1889]] "...is widely regarded as a major milestone in the development of the trade union movement, marking..."

=== Requests for review/attention ===
*[[Bill Haywood]] Important leader in the [[Industrial Workers of the World|IWW]] in the early 20th century. I've made a [[Talk:Bill Haywood#To-do list|to-do list]]; once these items are addressed, I plan on putting it in for peer review and eventually pursuing featured article status. I've pretty much been the sole contributor to this article for quite some time, so any help would be greatly appreciated! --[[User:JerryOrr|JerryOrr]] 21:41, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
