Closing two of our largest campaigns
We’ve gotten permission from IndustriALL to close down two campaigns, one of which is one of the largest we’ve ever done.
The Bangladesh campaign got 14,306 messages sent and appeared in 14 languages. Though it didn’t reach the 17,214 messages sent in the June 2012 campaign around the case of the Iranian teacher Ghanbari, it ran for just 26 days — and most important, it lead to a major win. (Mailing is going out today to our lists.)
The Mexico campaign was part of our contribution to IndustriALL’s global week of action in February and resulted in 9,578 messages sent in 15 languages. The struggle at PKC continues and the union will let us know if a new campaign is needed in the next few weeks.

Could we have advance notice of closures? I sent a Bangladesh reminder just a couple of hours prior to this notice.
Good point. I’ll try.
We generally close campaigns after 2 – 3 months, so this was a fairly rare quick win. But our campaign was clearly irrelevant once IndustriALL and UNI announced the success of their campaign.
And to be fair, I did write on this blog 9 days ago “We will probably close this soon as IndustriALL and UNI have made a lot of progress this week.”
