Jailed trade union leaders in Iran.<\/p><\/div>\n

New campaign<\/strong>: On 28 August, we launched a new campaign<\/a> — a joint effort by the Education International and the International Transport Workers Federation — in support of jailed trade unionists in Iran. As I write these words, the campaign has 6,119<\/strong> supporters.<\/p>\n

Mailing lists:<\/strong> We added 569<\/strong> new subscribers to 15 of our mailing lists; 360<\/strong> of those were to the English list.<\/p>\n

Translations:<\/strong> We have a new volunteer translator for Indonesian. Our Dutch translator has asked for help and we’ve suggested ways to cope with ever-larger numbers of campaigns. It looks like some of our other translators are struggling to cope as we launch more campaigns than ever in August.<\/p>\n

Georgia:<\/strong> Eric will speak next week at the Georgian Trade Union Confederation congress. We have been helping publicise statements by the GTUC and its international partners following up on a government crackdown on independent unions<\/a>, and hunger strike by railway workers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

IUF:<\/strong> We participated in the IUF’s 27th congress<\/a> all of last week, posting a great deal of material on social media and the website. This was also an opportunity to hold informal discussions with other GUF leaders, and leading trade unionists from a number of countries.<\/p>\n

McDonald’s:<\/strong> On the eve of the first-ever strike by McDonald’s workers in the UK, we participated in the demo at the corporate headquarters in north London — and posted many photos<\/a> to Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
