What we’ve been up to during the last 4 weeks …
It’s a new year and a new opportunity to apologise for not updating this blog for four weeks (maybe this one three weeks late). We’ve had a busy season …
Donations: We’ve received very generous donations from IndustriAll Europe and EPSU (the European public sector workers’ union) and expect further ones in the days to come. Next week we will reach out to all our supporters in all languages.
New correspondents: We picked up new correspondents in Belgium and the Philippines.
Campaigns: A week before Christmas we did a special mailing to our English list encouraging people to support all 7 of our current campaigns and our latest podcast. We closed down our Sri Lanka campaign but received a detailed report on the impact the campaign had. The same is the case with the Kawasaki campaign in the Philippines. We closed down our Turkey campaign as well.
Podcasts: We recorded a second “60 seconds on …” Christmas shopping and unions.
Trademark: LabourStart is now our registered trademark — after using it for nearly 28 years.
