Friday morning updates
- 531 people have already answered our survey on trade union use of the net, with the number rising all the time. You can track the results in real time here.
- The Education International has agreed for us to close down the campaign we launched 3 months ago today. It has gotten over 2,000 responses but has had little impact on the Colombian government.
- I’ll be attending NetRoots UK tomorrow – a major conference about activist (not specifically trade union) use of the new technology, hosted by the Trades Union Congress in London.
- I’ve been invited to speak in New Orleans in March at the annual conference of UALE, the labor educators organization.
- Our Global Solidarity Conference scheduled to take place in Sydney later this year is going to have to be postponed to 2012 or later; we’re currently exploring whether we can do a 2011 conference somewhere else.
- I’ve stopped podcasting; interest levels were far too low.
- UnionBook picked up more than 20 new members in the last 24 hours and is getting interesting publicity — a great article in Spanish from a Peruvian trade unionist which you can read on the site, plus I’ve been interviewed at length by a reporter from Hurriyet, Turkey’s largest newspaper.
