This will be my last update for a while — I will be back at my desk on 12 August for a week and a half, and then back to work after the summer break on 28 August.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mailing lists:<\/strong> I fixed the link on the English and new French home pages to ensure that anyone signing up to mailing lists there is added to our old MailChimp lists.\u00a0 I migrated some who had subscribed (prematurely) to the new Sendy lists.\u00a0 We’re not yet using Sendy for English or French, but we will.<\/p>\n

Campaigns:<\/strong> I’ve sent out monthly reminders to our partners in general, and specific ones to our friends at the 3 Cosas campaign in London and GE workers in Erie, Pennsylvania campaign at the two-month mark.\u00a0 We’ve promoted the Maruti Suzuki campaign in Hindi to more than 300 Indians who are on our English language mailing list.\u00a0 We’re beginning to grow a small mailing list in Hindi as a result.<\/p>\n

Books:<\/strong> I’ve followed up with CreateSpace and our bank about missing royalty payments totalling over \u00a3500.\u00a0 We’ve been asked to ship 60 copies of our Global Labour Movement book to the founding congress of the International Domestic Workers Network in Montevideo in October.<\/p>\n

Asia:<\/strong> I’ve followed up with the 15 trade union communicators I met at the recent ILO course in Turin, asking them to support, publicize, and translate our campaigns, and to signup as volunteer correspondents.<\/p>\n

Publicity:<\/strong> I was interviewed this morning for an article to appear in Labour Research.<\/p>\n

Kiev conference in November:<\/strong> Edd and I have been invited to participate in an event linking together trade unionists and democratic socialists from across the former Soviet Union.\u00a0 One of the days will be devoted to a meeting of LabourStart correspondents from across the region.<\/p>\n

Brussels course in October:<\/strong> I’ll be teaching trade unions from across Europe about campaigning in a course organized by the European Trade Union Institute.\u00a0 I did this last year by Skype; this year, they’re bringing me over to Brussels.<\/p>\n

LabourStart home page in French:<\/strong> Edd has done a lot more work on this and we are nearly ready for launch.\u00a0 We’ll be meeting Andy in London in August and can finalize then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
