Inside LabourStart

Eurostar campaign: We’ve heard from the RMT union that our campaign contributed to the pressure that has brought the company to the negotiating table.  There will be a meeting on Friday after which it is likely that we will suspend the campaign.  The campaign took off very quickly, with 3,176 messages sent in English, 60 in French, 68 in Norwegian, and 2 in Spanish, for a total of 3,306.

Labour Photo of the Year: I’m putting up a notice on the site that submissions will no longer be accepted.  We’re in the hands of the judges now.

Book sales: Sales of the children’s book “Fire in the Hole” were quite good this week.  Overall, in the third quarter of 2009 we sold just under $6,000 worth of books, with 128 orders placed.  This means a net income to LabourStart of $596.65 (£374.28).
