I've had this idea for a while of a piece of software that aggregates Labor News from all of the world, and allows the user to sort them by country, type of news (labor strike, union busting, laws passed/repealed, settlements reached, cooperative formed, etc.) It would do this for each and every country and do this only for News platforms that are written from a pro-labor perspective (so you don't end up with a bunch of RadioFreeAsia type crap).
Is this a naive idea? Open to ruthless criticism. I know people already use RSS feeds for this kind of thing but I'm thinking of something a little more specific. Right now the burger thread has a "strike feed" but it's maintained by Cornell university, only covers the USA, and is excruciatingly slow to use.
