Mahesh Upadhyaya:\u00a0 State of the trade union movement in India.\u00a0 A union must have 500,000 members in five states\/industry.\u00a0 Recognition granted by Ministry of Labour.\u00a0 In India, unions are associated with political parties.\u00a0 Recognized and unrecognized unions; defunct central trade unions.\u00a0 What role can LS play?<\/p>\n
Contact individual unions that the Global unions think would be interested in LS.\u00a0 Presently, no other regularly active LS correspondents in India.\u00a0 Difficult to recruit volunteers.\u00a0 Might be useful to have a Hindi edition of LS (need to hire a low-cost translator).\u00a0 Most unionists who do not read English also do not have internet access.\u00a0 Only the elite in urban unions have internet access.<\/p>\n
Eric:\u00a0 Hindi edition of LS could be done almost immediately.\u00a0 Bengali edition should be done as well.\u00a0 Reading LS, one would get the impression that there are lots of trade union struggles in Pakistan, but not India, probably because of LS’s relationship to the IUF.\u00a0 More correspondents, more news, more languages between now and when we meet next.<\/p>\n
