Inside LabourStart

In our first new campaign in three weeks, we’re responding to an appeal from the Iraqi unions.  The campaign has a short and memorable URL: http://www.labourstart.org/iraq

This is not the first campaign we’ve run in support of the Iraqi unions — so let’s see if we can do better than before.  Here is what we’ve done so far:

• Iraq: Minister closes all union offices in Saddam-style move – TUC/GFIW – 23 July 2010 – 3,100
• Iraq: Stop harassment of oil union leaders – Solidarity Center – 12 April 2010 – 2,643
• Hands off the Iraqi Teachers Union! – TUC – 26 February 2010 – 328
• Iraq: Stop government interference in the unions – GFIW – 19 October 2009 – 2,530
• Iraq: Teachers union faces threat of government takeover – ITU – 27 March 2009 – 4,468
• Iraq: Raid on trade union offices – GFIW – 1 March 2007 – 3,068

Let’s see if we can do better than that March 2009 effort, aiming to get over 5,000 messages sent this time.
