We seem to have missed a week with updates – sorry about that.<\/p>\n
ITUC:<\/strong> The arrest of the newly-elected ITUC General Secretary Luca Visentini last Friday in Brussels has rocked the trade union world. Next week the ITUC General Council will decide on the next steps; meanwhile, Visentini has stepped aside. We have provided very extensive coverage in many languages, both on our website and across social media, and will continue to do so.<\/p>\n Mastodon:<\/strong> Growth of our account has slowed. Two weeks ago, just before our webinar, we had 144<\/strong> followers. Today that’s up to 184<\/strong>. Still, we’re getting lots of great followup to our webinar, including features on Radio Labour and the Union Cities radio show from Washington D.C.<\/p>\n 2023 Global Solidarity Conference:<\/strong> We have a call set up for next with our friends in Georgia, and we hope to be able to announce more details of the event soon.<\/p>\n Programming:<\/strong> We continue to make tweaks every day to LabourStart’s software; we are currently working hard to fix our newswires which worked very well for a time but have now broken in some places. We hope to announce good news in the next several days about this. Also, after being informed by a new correspondent in Korea, we made the login for correspondents more secure.<\/p>\n Myanmar:<\/strong> We closed the campaign at the request of BWI. Though it appeared in a record-breaking 25<\/strong> languages and had the support of nearly all the global unions, it was a fairly small campaign for us.<\/p>\n Belarus:<\/strong> This remains our largest current campaign and is just under 8,000<\/strong> supporters. We gave the campaign a recent boost and hope to see an increase in the number of supporters.<\/p>\n Backlog:<\/strong> We achieved “inbox 0” again last week, and there is no backlog of campaigns or translations at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We seem to have missed a week with updates – sorry about that.
