International Women’s Day:<\/strong> First of all, greetings to all working women from LabourStart! Our Working Women’s news page is absolutely full of news this year – check it out: https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/women\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Belarus:<\/strong> We are almost certainly going ahead with a campaign in the next few weeks. We also shared our interview with Liza<\/a>, which went live this week — it already had 175 downloads, which is the same as last year’s interview. It will certainly reach a much larger audience this year.<\/p>\n

Podcast interviews:<\/strong> We continue to search for interviewees, including folowing up with trade union leaders who have already agreed to do this.<\/p>\n

Interns:<\/strong> Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations has asked if we want more interns this coming all. We said yes.<\/p>\n

Young workers:<\/strong> Our Young Workers news page<\/a> now has a “toolkit” for young trade unionists (mostly for the USA).<\/p>\n

Swag:<\/strong> We’re looking for partners to help us produce and sell LabourStart branded products like t-shirts and mugs. Finding ones that are unionised is harder than you’d think. One UK-based company which initially looked like a good fit — “Certified Organic Products; Powered by Renewable Energy; Circular Design” — whose customers included a wide range of progressive charities and NGOs turns out to have a non-union workforce, which is a deal-breaker for us.<\/p>\n

International Union Rights:<\/strong> We are probably going to try again to promote sales of this excellent journal, in a partnership with ICTUR. Apparently, it did quite well last time for them and for us.<\/p>\n

Instagram:<\/strong> We have our first reel<\/a> (video) and it’s gotten quite a few views (256). This is quite good considering that we only have 689 followers on the platform.<\/p>\n

Fund-raising:<\/strong> Another generous donation from a Norwegian union arrived this week.<\/p>\n

Inside LabourStart:<\/strong> We’ve had to disable the mailing list plugin for this blog as it had stopped working properly. We’ll find new ways of letting people know when the blog is updated.<\/p>\n
