Inside LabourStart

Lesotho campaign: We went live this week with our new campaign in support of workers at Quantum Apparel.  After less than 24 hours online, the campaign had 1,317 supporters and translations have already started coming in — with French and Chinese first.

Correspondents: We picked up three new correspondents this week from Bangladesh, Malaysia and Pakistan.  We wrote to all our new correspondents who have not yet posted news, offering help, as we do every three months or so.  The good news is the majority of new correspondents are posting news.

Korea: We reached out to our Korean language mailing list to try to recruit helpers to translate our campaigns and mailings, and to post news.

Interns: The Global Labour University has reached out to us to take on another intern in 2026 and we are likely to do so.

Stats: Finally, we checked how many visitors our main website has had since the beginning of the year (this does not include visitors to the campaigns site, which is hosted separately).  The total is a healthy 579,245.
