Website Overview: Labor Project for Working Families is based around a vision of a multicultural work place that values the rights of families in the work force. They were established in 1992 is a non-profit that build relationships with family oriented organizations with the focus on fighting for family rights. They focus on unions as a source to build long term relationships and leverage employers to gain more family rights and values in the work place. Intended Audience: Working families. Critique: After reviewing the site for only a short period of time I could tell this organization was very pro-union and utilized them as the backbone of their support center. This website was less non-partisan then Families and Work Institute which I reviewed earlier. I liked the approach of using such powerful tools such as unions however I think the website could have been more balanced in their views of unions. The site was well put together and mapped clearly with little repeat information. Their annual reports were completely up to date available to be viewed. The information within the reports clearly backed up their mission statement and objectives. Very few other sites make financial information as readily available as did Labor Project. Overall they communicated their message well and demonstrated their value as a non-profit. Relationship to work, family, community, class: The Labor Projects for Working Families was clearly focused on creating awareness for the working families and the importance of family rights. They created a link between the power of unions and the benefit of working with employers to rally around family values and benefits. The use of strategic partnerships seems to be effective by their annual reports and use of diversity tracking with employers. I could quickly tell the focus on family rights after reviewing the website. Respecting the diversity and place of family is a core value for Labor Projects and one I clearly support. Overall

Continuation of earlier comments...it cut off the last couple sentences. Overall I thought the website was put together and support the content clearly however the agenda and political views of the website nearly over shadowed the purpose behind the organization. Dan Robertson

Critique: Families and Work Institute is a great resource for those battling the work-family struggles that affect our daily lives. The website is very well put together with every link I used fully functional and supported with information. As I explored the website I didn't feel like there was any unnecessary information. The newsroom portion of the website which gave updates on current events was a bit out dated however the appropriate links were in place to direct visitors to other non-profit programs. . It was a well planned out website with limited links which helped keep the site from feeling overwhelming. Overall the information on the website was appropriate and easy to follow. Relationship to work, family, community, class: The Families and Work Institute are committed to their mission of researching and creating awareness of emerging family-work issues. They insist on driving their agenda, on doing work they truly believe in, on doing work of the highest quality and on achieving results. There challenge is that, together and with help, they can maintain commitment to excellence in providing research assist those in the work family circle Other comments: I was impressed with this website both with the setup of the overall website and communi
