Friday updates in brief

  • We’ve launched a new campaign in support of striking Dis-Chem workers in South Africa.  A campaign in support of Mexican workers in Cananea may come online next week; we’re liaising with ICEM about this one.
  • We now know for sure of over 100 people attending our conference — with two thirds of them having paid registration fees in advance.
  • My latest Labour and Technology podcast is now online, here.

New Labour & Technology podcast now live

OK,  so it’s a first attempt and maybe the sound quality could be a little better, but please have a listen and let my know what you think — and share some tips about how to make it better.  Thanks.

Coming soon: Podcasts on labour and technology

I have to admit — I was inspired by a talk I heard at LabourTech Canada ten days ago on the subject of podcasting.

I’ve been thinking a lot about it and have decided to attempt a short weekly show on the subject of labour and technology.  The first one may go live on Friday.

Obviously, I’ll link to these on Radio LabourStart.

I used to write regular columns on this subject for Industrial Worker, International Union Rights and Labour Research but have terminated all of these.  Perhaps podcasting is a better approach — certainly worth trying.

Reviving Radio LabourStart

I still have ambitions to revive Radio LabourStart, initially as a source of links to existing podcasts and radio broadcasts, and later with our own content.

The first stage was to clean up the existing page and ensure that it now shows fresh content — this is now complete.

I’m still in Canada attending LabourTech where I participated yesterday in a session on podcasting and was inspired to consider doing this again.

Stay tuned.
