Inside LabourStart

ITUC: We continued providing unparalleled coverage of the Qatargate scandal, including the first reports online about the ITUC General Council meeting this week.

Belarus: We continued to share news and promote our campaign as the trials began.  We currently have 7,888 supporters for this campaign.  We are also in discussion with the Danish union 3F about supporting our efforts.

Trade Union News from Finland: After a quarter century, this website is finally closing down. We have worked closely with them over the years and we shared the news of their demise widely.

Radio Labour: We don’t do enough to promote this remarkable project, so last week we did a social media blitz to help raise awareness of it.

Mastodon: Our following continues to grow on this Twitter alternative, but slowly. We’re now up to 212, a gain of 28 this week.

2023 Global Solidarity Conference: Following a Zoom call with our colleagues in Georgia, we are going ahead with this. Expect a rush of announcements in early January.

Programming: We have now fixed the RSS feeds for four countries (Australia, Canada, UK, USA), which had been broken for some time. We will be copying the source code for other countries and languages now that we have this fixed. And then we will publicise this again to our lists, encouraging individual trade unionists and their unions to make use of our newswires on their websites and blogs.
