N2  - Last 30 years is an era which is full of the developments affecting trade union movement adversely. Besides these developments, a new transformation wave has been gaining ground within the last ten years. This transformation wave is the rapidly expanding information and communication technologies. These technologies have brought out both challanges and opportunities for the trade union movement. The transformation experienced with the advent of the information and communication technologies hasn’t been limited to the workplace and the level of production. On the contrary, a process of transformation is being experienced in a social environment where the unions take place, too. While staying out of this transformation wave makes it difficult for trade unions to overcome this precarious situation the union movement has got caught in, benefiting from the opportunities of the process of change is doubtless unenough for unions to cope with this precarious situation.     In conclusion, the trade union movement had better appraise the transformation of organizational structure created by information and communication technologies and benefit from the opportunities appearing in this transformation process for its own organizational structure. To this view, internet and web are transformation technologies and trade union movement could have the chance of reorganization depending upon benefiting from the opportunities information and communication technologies have created. According to the views which point out that these technologies affect the trade union movement positively, internet and web carry out a bridge task between the workforce, whose individual dimension gets stronger and variety increases, and collective movement and solidarity.     In this context, throughout the paper, the importance and development of the information and communication technologies are assessed from the perspective of Turkish trade unions. In this sense, the paper discusses the interest and closeness of the trade unions to information and communication technologies and tries to do a situation analysis. The core of this study is the web and internet relationship of the trade unions. In other words, the paper addresses the interest of trade unions in internet and web services, what is understood and aimed from internet and web services, what are the expectations and analyse the situation in practice.
