Asbestos campaign:<\/strong> This is now live in more languages than any other recent campaign we’ve done, thanks to APHEDA’s helping getting translations of the campaign and mailing in Indonesian, Japanese, Hindi, Vietnamese, etc. We expect to add even more Asian languages as a result, including Urdu. Some of these lists are being mailed to for the first time in years. A number of global unions, including IndustriALL and the ITUC, have publicly called for a global asbestos ban this week. As of this morning, the campaign has 5,728<\/strong> supporters and is running in 18<\/strong> languages.<\/p>\n

Kazakhstan campaign:<\/strong> This too went live in a big way this week. We have the full support of the ITUC and IndustriALL, and the IUF did a mailing to its Russian language list to promote the campaign. This morning the campaign had 4,469<\/strong> supporters and appears in 6<\/strong> languages so far with more translations on the way.<\/p>\n

Madagascar campaign:<\/strong> This campaign is already running on the ITF site, but they have begun publicising the version on LabourStart. We’ll begin our publicity shortly.<\/p>\n

Somalia campaign:<\/strong> The journalists’ union has asked for our help; expect a new campaign in the next few days.<\/p>\n

UK:<\/strong> We went live with our new UK LabourStart Facebook page<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0publicising it on the social network itself for now; as of this morning it has 74 likes. One of the things we’ve been able to publicise there is a new podcast done by former LabourStart intern Edd Mustill. We’ll soon do a mailing to our UK list to promote this.<\/p>\n

Mailing lists:<\/strong> I did two imports this week, adding people who support our campaigns, with a total of 304 new subscribers, mostly to the English list.<\/p>\n

Publications:<\/strong> I’ve begun work to complete the new edition of Campaigning Online and Winning.<\/p>\n

Publicity:<\/strong> We’ve begun work on a new flyer — it will be based on our 2014 flyer, with an updated text, to be distributed at union conferences this year. We’re looking into the possibility of creating versions in multiple languages.<\/p>\n

Arthur Svensson prize:<\/strong> We’ve been invited to participate in this year’s ceremony in Oslo in June.<\/p>\n

Fundraising:<\/strong> BWI has made a generous donation to LabourStart which arrived this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
