Inside LabourStart

The screenshot on the left — that’s the next generation of LabourStart. 

This is how our thousands of readers around the world are increasingly accessing the net — and developing a mobile presence for us is a top priority.

Our new app shows our top news, gives access to our campaigns, allows you to listen to the most recent RadioLabour broadcasts, shows which union jobs are on offer around the world, and even links to all 8 ILO core conventions.  And of course there’s a page telling you all about LabourStart, full of links.

There’s more to come, including versions in other languages, ways to access news from specific countries, and so on.

But this version is nearly ready to submit to the Google Play store and is now being looked out by a team of 10 volunteers who will no doubt find errors and make suggestions.

If you have an Android smartphone or tablet and want to help us test our new app, please email me.
