Some quick highlights …<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We’ll be launching a new campaign sometime today or tomorrow in support of the Turkish trade unionists who were arrested<\/a> this week. \u00a0We’re waiting on PSI and EI to agree a text.<\/li>\n
  2. Our book on online campaigning<\/a> has been translated into French. Thank you Andy! \u00a0We’ll try to make it available as soon as possible.<\/li>\n
  3. We’ve done a mailing to our Canadian list to promote a Canada-specific campaign<\/a>, and earlier this week mailed to our UK list to promote a UK-only campaign<\/a>. \u00a0A third of our current campaigns are now country-specific.<\/li>\n
  4. We closed down the Cameroon musicians campaign today after three months. \u00a0Still waiting to hear from FIM about the results.<\/li>\n
  5. We launched our first campaign ever in Esperanto<\/a> this afternoon. \u00a0We have a small Google Group for volunteer translators who did the work on this – much appreciated.<\/li>\n
  6. We had comprehensive coverage of the massive strike in India<\/a> thanks to several correspondents – including Mahesh and Edd.<\/li>\n
  7. We wrote this week to hundreds of state labour federations and city central labour councils across the USA to promote our new newswires for each of the 50 states<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  8. We’re up to 452 responses to our annual survey<\/a> — nearly half of them this time in French<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
