• Kilusang Mayo Uno
• Trade Union Congress of the Philippines
• How do employees receive their "cards" where they note their union representation preference, and how/where do they turn them in? Does the employer supply the form or does it come from somewhere else?
• AFL-CIO: too short an article for such an influencial group. See my note on the talk page for more details. Harro5 23:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
• I'm not sure how far to go on this. I have a really good 'short' history, but it runs to 33 typewritten pages. Far too long for a Wikipedia article. Some of it (Haymarket riot, 'Battle of the Bridge,' Samuel Gompers bio, Walter Reuther bio, etc.) can be chopped out, but it's still too lengthy. Tim1965 02:05, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• In particular, there needs to be included a description of the history of the AFL-CIO. The history section begins with the NUP, so it doesn't tell much of the story at all. This is for someone more knowledgeable than I. Tony Clothes 08:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
• ...six years later the article has barely changed...let's get on it...groupuscule (talk) 06:52, 4 August 2012 (UTC) P.S. maybe it's the en-dash throwin people off...
• ICFTU African Regional Organisation
• ICFTU Asia and Pacific Regional Organisation
• ICFTU Inter American Regional Organisation of Workers
• National trade union center
• Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Moldova
• Congress of South African Trade Unions Played important political role as ally of the ANC. Short article.
• European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) Similar to the ICFTU regional organisations. Very active in lobbying the EU. Nothing.
• International labour 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.
• Paterson silk strike of 1913 Important IWW strike (despite ending in failure). I added a decent stub, but it definitely needs to be expanded. --JerryOrr 14:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
• Picketing Nothing. I have added some information on legality, could do with some information on history.--JK the unwise 13:39, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
• 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.
• Worker 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.)
• Asbestosis_-_Compensation_and_Liability_Disputes 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..."
• Industrial Revolution#Organization of labour a 1 1/2 paragraph summary for the entire industrial revolution.
• Writers Guild of America needs to be rewritten. It was correctly stubbed after several WP:OTRS complaints about the original article lacking sources and NPOV.
• This pages appears to have been turned into a disambiguation page, and the stub information has been deleted. Does it still need work/expansion?--Dana boomer (talk) 21:29, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
• Writers Guild of America, East needs expansion- this was my first attempt at creating a new article! Please pay careful attention for NPOV and credible sources in this article.
• Writers Guild of America, west needs to be expanded as well. Please pay careful attention for NPOV and credible sources in this article also.
• West Virginia has only one sentence about unions: "West Virginia also has a very strong tradition of union membership." There are no links to union articles. The link to the film Matewan doesn't mention what the film is about. I'm from the West, and am not as well-informed about West Virginia union history as some others may be. Hope someone can add some content. Possible links to add to new content could include: Battle of Blair Mountain and Labor_spies#Matewan thanks, Richard Myers 21:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
• Public-sector trade union is a stub. Given such unions are largest in US, it merits more. Including coverage outside US, where I'd guess such unions are even more important. (There also seems to be very little coverage of public sector unions in general articles covered by this project.)

• Draft:Police_and_Unions I started drafting an article about police unions, would love help! Shushugah (talk) 02:40, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
• Lawrence textile strike Highly publicized strike in 1912. Decent length and well-organized, but absolutely no citation... not even a References section! --JerryOrr 16:54, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

• File:Information.svgA requested move discussion has been initiated for :Violent labor disputes in the United States to be moved to List of worker slayings in labor disputes in the United States. This page is of interest to this WikiProject and interested members may want to participate in the discussion here.Jeff in CA (talk) 04:48, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
