We will never stop fighting for workers' rights

LabourStart has been around for more than 26 years now, which is extraordinary.   When we went live in the spring of 1998, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok didn't yet exist.   Most unions didn't even have websites. We were seen as pioneers, and we helped lead many unions forward into a new age of instant global communications. And despite all that has changed, one thing remains the same: Without unions, workers are vulnerable to exploitation and violations of their rights.   The fight to ensure that every worker in the world has the right to join or form a union -- that fight goes on every day.   And LabourStart is there to help. That's why we're running seven live campaigns now, helping workers in Eswatini, Serbia, Czechia, India, Taiwan, Poland and Georgia.   Two weeks ago I visited the striking workers at Evolution Gaming in Tbilisi, Georgia.  Our campaign is showing them that they are not alone -- that they have the support of thousands of individual trade union members, like yourself.  And our messages to the company are sending a clear message, saying that we demand and expect them to respect workers' rights, and to negotiate with the union. When workers and their unions reach out to LabourStart for help, we always say yes. And we charge them nothing.  It's a free service.  It's why we exist. Your donations, large and small, make all the difference.  They allow us to continue working day in and day out on behalf of workers who sometimes feel isolated, weak and vulnerable.  We show them that their voices are being heard, and by working with fellow union members around the world, that we can win. In the last few weeks, we've begun experiencing an extremely difficult financial situation at LabourStart.   We're reaching out to our union partners for help, and we're hopeful that we will get through this.  We've kept our expenses to a minimum and we've even cut back.  Because of this, we need your donations more than ever before. If you can donate, please click here to do so. Together, we're going to get through this difficult period -- and we're going to continue to fight side by side with the workers in every country where help is needed. Thank you - and solidarity forever! Eric Lee LabourStart
