The Drupal for Labor coalition aims to:

Background and History
The "Drupal for Labor" concept is the brainchild of Steve Dondley, owner of Prometheus Labor Communications. While the name "Drupal for Labor" was first conceived in the early part of 2007, the notion that unions should adopt Drupal technology has been with Steve since his first experience with Drupal in October 2003.
