In the last four days, in addition to watching our Palestine campaign grow, showing off our new conference poster, and and thinking about Cafe Press (see earlier posts), here are a few of the things that have been on the agenda at LabourStart this week …<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Have been holding an email conversation with our internet service provider (1&1) about the possible listing of their IP address in the SORBS spam database – some people sending off protest messages to Georgia have received reports that indicate this. Still investigating what’s going on.<\/li>\n
  2. Attended a meeting at the Trades Union Congress to discuss Egypt and expressed a willingness to do more – including a possible campaign in support of labour law reform in that country.<\/li>\n
  3. Fixed the newswire which is now featured on LabourStart’s French page on Facebook<\/a> to open links in a new window (as is the case for the campaigns newswire).<\/li>\n
  4. Received another nice donation from a Canadian union, processed it and had Derek thank them.<\/li>\n
  5. Spoke with the International Metalworkers Federation about a possible campaign on Malawi – but after consulting with the ITUC, this has been placed on hold.<\/li>\n
  6. Provided advice on social networking to UNI, which is campaigning against Deutsche Telekom – a union-buster in the USA.<\/li>\n
  7. Mailed all members of UnionBook about our conference, the campaigns, and the need to recruit some 900 new members in 40 days.<\/li>\n
  8. Improved daily campaign stats program<\/a> to show only the current month; could not get it to show in reverse order.<\/li>\n
  9. Backed up mailing lists, MySQL databases, and all files on the website.<\/li>\n
  10. Added campaign supporters to MailChimp lists.<\/li>\n
  11. Removed spam signups to the conference database<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  12. Updated conference website with the Turkish version of the ‘respect’ form.<\/li>\n
  13. Sorted out tickets for travel to Istanbul in September for a meeting with our conference committee.<\/li>\n
  14. Sent out the weekly mailing in German.<\/li>\n
  15. Sent out a mailing to over 600 Francophone Canadians.<\/li>\n
  16. And answered dozens and dozens of emails.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
