Inside LabourStart

This month’s report does not contain any information regarding the mailing lists as we have changed the structure of the language segments and at the same are again in the process of changing service providers.

The first number next to each item is the current total as of today; the second number is the total as of the last report. Where one number is provided it means that there has been no change since our last report.

Lists or accounts that have shrunk are in italics.  Lists or accounts which experienced growth are in bold.

PODCASTS:

Rather than list each podcast and the numbers of times they have been downloaded we will report the three (3) podcasts that have been downloaded the most times to date.

1. Mar 27, 2024. Interview with Sally McManus, Secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU).  304-296 downloads.
2. April 11, 2024. Interview with Amanda Gearing and Darren Westwood about the strike by Amazon workers in the UK.  283-273 downloads.
3. May 8, 2024.  Interview with Khaing Zar, trade union leader from Myanmar.  238-232 downloads.

X (TWITTER as-was):

No concerted effort was made in the past month to increase our numbers for these accounts.  We will have to start again or the erosion of our numbers will continue.

We experienced some decline in accounts that usually experience slow growth.  This may be the result of trade unionists closing their Twitter accounts and moving to other platforms (such as Mastodon).
