Fortnightly update – 18.12 – 31.12.12
Book: We completed our campaigns book and published it, and publicized it today.
Campaigns: We closed the Guatemala campaign two weeks ago – still waiting for a report on how things turned out. The Zimbabwe campaign was closed ten days ago. The Histadrut has asked us about doing a campaign in support of striking Pelephone workers in Israel.
Newswires: We located the RSS version of the health & safety newswire for Australia which the ACTU had requested.
ActNOW DIY: Did some work on writing the code for this – moving slowly …
Site overhaul: Did a considerable amount of work on the new-look website for 2013. Coming soon.
International Union Rights: Sales of subs to this were disappointing – we sold just 34 of them (as of 10 days ago).
Today in Labour History: This is now working fairly well, and displaying on our home page. We have 4 or so people adding content and will soon go public in an attempt to get more correspondents.
Twitter: We are working to get our Spanish language Twitter feed working again and we’re exploring ways to get all our languages working.
Inactive correspondents: We’re building up a list of all those correspondents who are inactive and are beginning to write to each one individually.
