Ur Union of Unemployed, or UCubed, generated record-breaking
numbers over the last 24 hours, with membership jumping from almost 480 job
activists yesterday to well over 800 today. Ninety-six new cubes were created
within the same time period, adding to the 84 cubes already created (six people
within the same zip code make one cube). UCubed is now up-and-running in 48
states and the District of Columbia.
The UCubed website, http://www.unionofunemployed.com, is creating an outlet for the 30 million-plus unemployed, and out-of-work America is beginning to speak loud and clear about the jobs crisis.
Since its launch in January 2010, UCubed’s steady increase in media presence and social networking is building a movement, and people are noticing. “This thing could hit critical mass pretty quick. Fire it up!” said one post on commondreams.org.
UCubed is committed to providing resources to the unemployed and providing a way to build strength in numbers via a unique web-based, grass-roots platform. In addition, UCubed allows members within their area to connect with other individuals who are unemployed and provide service and support for each other while spearheading legislative notices on critical jobs issues.
