About Consumers Union and this publication:
Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer
Reports, is a nonprofit organization established
in 1936 to provide consumers with information and
advice on goods, services, health and personal finance;
and to initiate and cooperate with efforts to maintain
and enhance the quality of life. No publication of
Consumers Union accepts outside advertising or is
beholden to any commercial interest.
Opened
in 1979 and based in Austin, Texas, the Southwest Regional
Office of Consumers Union is committed to advocating
the consumer interest, particularly of low-income consumers,
and to promoting the growth of the public interest movement
in the Southwest.
Consumer OnLine, a web-based newsletter published by
CU's Southwest Regional Office, is dedicated to keeping
you informed of consumer issues impacting your everyday
life. We monitor the hallways and corridors of the Texas
Capitol and administrative agencies, intervene in numerous
forums and proceedings, and report back to you on current
consumer events and trends.
