Sorry for the lack of updates to this blog, but I’ve been travelling. Here’s a brief summary of what we’ve been up to for the last 4 weeks.<\/p>\n

\"\"Mailings: <\/strong>We did two mailings in the last two months with a new, more attractive two-column format. Let us know what you think.<\/p>\n

Georgia:<\/strong> I will be spending a week in Georgia and have scheduled meetings with leading trade unionists and two trips outside the capital to meet with workers on strike.<\/p>\n

Podcasts:<\/strong> After a long gap, we’ve resumed posting. This week we did an interview with Stirling Smith about workers and excessive heat.<\/p>\n

New campaigns:<\/strong> We have a new campaign for Turkey on the way.<\/p>\n

Solidarity statements:<\/strong> We’ve been asked by a union in Bangladesh for a statement of solidarity to mark the anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster. We’ve also been invited by ‘Free Them Now’ for a solidarity video statement to be broadcast to Iran on May Day.<\/p>\n

T-shirts:<\/strong> We sold nearly as many shirts as we did in 2024 — 118 instead of 120, snd raised some money for our work.<\/p>\n
