Inside LabourStart

More than 40 hotel workers from Sheraton and Hilton Hotels in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia met and learned about LabourStart from Dawit, our new correspondent there — who attended our conference in Berlin.  Here’s his report:

“The objective was to introduce labourstart to Sheraton and Hilton Addis Ababa employees and if possible to other people in another organization.  During the meeting the participants were from Sheraton Addis trade union and councils 9 and 30 members respectively.  In addition we also include 2 members of Hilton Addis trade union members whom they have total members of 500 employee in their organization.  In Sheraton we have 650 members. During the training and introduction the participant were surprised when they heard about labourstart global efforts for the right of worker.  Each of 40 participants took the web site of labourstart and to disseminate it into their email friends, members and to announce on the employees notice board.”
