Good point. I know of several union organisers who have two Facebook accounts – one that is personal, and one used for their organising work.

I see Facebook primarily as a communications tool, rather than an organising one, and the caveat at the top of the post is intended to serve as the warning you mention.

Cheers
Alex

Just one thing that might be worth saying about profile pages is that this is how some of the unions you alluded to came unstuck. profile pages for organisations are against the terms of service, so Facebook will have less compunction about shutting you down. Either do it fully aware you might lose your work and contacts, or do it as individuals, making clear you're union organisers. Of course whilst the latter has advantages of openness and approachability, it may be awkward for your people to reveal more personal information about themselves in the course of their union activity.
