It’s been six weeks since this page was last updated – we’ll be resuming regular updates from today. For this update, we’ll organise the news by country.<\/p>\n

Cambodia:<\/strong>
\nWe closed our campaign in all 18 languages after 6 months; it had 6,012 supporters. This did not end in a win.<\/p>\n

Germany:<\/strong>
\nWe launched a campaign in support of Ver.di members at Ameos<\/strong><\/a>, which has been doing some union busting. After just a few days online, it had over 4,600 supporters.<\/p>\n

Ghana:<\/strong>
\nA student at the Global Labour University from Ghana (and currently based in Germany) is likely to begin work for us shortly for a few weeks as an intern.<\/p>\n

Indonesia:<\/strong>
\nWe closed the campaign (which had 5,638 supporters) because Rio has been set free, but we are waiting to hear the results of his upcoming court appearance before issuing a public statement to our lists.<\/p>\n

Kazakhstan:<\/strong>
\nWe have asked if we can close this campaign after three months and are awaiting a response.<\/p>\n

Russia:<\/strong>
\nDuring a four-day visit to Moscow in January, we led a workshop with trade unions affiliated to KTR, the labour federation. We were also interviewed by the trade union newspaper Solidarnosc. We also discussed with our Russian comrades the possibility of a regional or global conference.<\/p>\n

Switzerland:<\/strong>
\nWe met with Dan Gallin of the Global Labour Institute in Geneva to discuss a second volume of his writings (we published the first in 2016).<\/p>\n

UK:<\/strong>
\nWe met with the new director of communications at the London-based International Transport Workers Federation in London and discussed our joint work. The ITF also made a generous donation to LabourStart this year.
\nWe met with the new General Secretary of the teachers’ union, NASUWT. This union plays a very active role in international solidarity campaigns.<\/p>\n

USA:<\/strong>
\nWe have ordered a quarter page advertisement in the program of the upcoming Labor Notes conference in Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
