Inside LabourStart

It’s been a couple of busy weeks here at LabourStart.

Campaigns

We launched two campaigns in the last two weeks.

First, in support of DHL workers in the Philippines facing union-busting. That campaign had 3,994 supporters this morning, and appears in 15 languages.

Second, we launched a campaign a week ago in support of jailed Hong Kong trade union leader Lee Cheuk-yan. In its first 7 days online the campaign got 3,739 supporters and appears in 15 languages as well.

Podcasts

We recorded two new podcasts as well. One was an interview with Mark Bergfeld, Director of Property Services at UNI Europa. The other was an interview with Chanyoung Heo from the, Kuehne+Nagel Korea Labour Union.

Mailing lists

These grew by 533 supporters in the last couple of weeks — these are almost all new supporters of our online campaigns.
