Suggest a campaign to LabourStart

Important: READ THIS FIRST.

LabourStart runs online campaigns at the request of trade unions around the world.

Our preference is for campaigns to be submitted by global union federations, national trade union centres and national unions, but will in some circumstances accept campaigns from local and branch unions.

We do not normally accept campaigns submitted by individuals or NGOs which are not unions.

Campaigns which would benefit from global exposure and support are more likely to be approved than campaigns that will be of no interest outside of your locality or country.

Our campaigns run for three months and if the issues are not resolved by then, LabourStart reserves the right to suspend the campaign.

Unions which request campaigns from us are expected to keep us updated and to promote the campaign to their own members and others.

We never charge unions for running these campaigns and the service will always be free.

Campaigns which focus on violations of workers rights are more likely to be adopted than campaigns in support of everyday issues which arise in relations with employers.

We now need to have the email addresses for the target government or employer (separated by commas). Please include an email address for the union as well. It is very important that you test these addresses. We will be telling tens of thousands of trade unionists to write to these addresses, and if messages bounce or fail, we get a very large number of complaints - which undermines people's trust in what we are doing. Please make sure that the union's email address is capable of receiving thousands of messages. If not, have the union set up an address which is (e.g., on web based email systems such as Gmail).
