> RADIO LABOURSTART GETS OFF TO A FLYING START
>
> I'd like to apologize to all those who were turned away in your attempts
> to connect to Radio LabourStart (http://radio.labourstart.org) during
> our first 48 hours online.
>
> We underestimated the number of potential listeners and had to upgrade
> the service on Tuesday to ensure that everyone who attempted to connect
> would get through.
>
> In addition to expanding our bandwidth, we've also added some new
> features this week: daily news updates from LabourStart (in addition to
> the news we're running from the Workers Independent News Service), much
> more music (at least 90 minutes per day), and more features (for
> example, you can hear the winner of this year's Labour Website of the
> Year talk about the union's site).
>
> Coming soon -- expect to hear an even wider range of labour music as we
> expand our online track library to include more than 350 songs. We're
> also planning many more features, including interviews, in the next few
> days.
>
> You can help support Radio LabourStart in the following ways:
>
> 1. Donate generously. Go to:
>
> http://www.labourstart.org/donate.shtml
>
> 2. Listen every day.  The more listeners we have, and the longer they
> listen, the higher we feature on Live365's list of stations.  Play the
> station at work or other public places, if you can.  Don't forget the
> address:
>
> http://radio.labourstart.org
>
> 3. Tell everyone you know -- pass this email message on.  Soon there
> will be many online trade union radio stations -- but today there are
> very few.  Listen to the pioneers.
>
> 4. Help us with content.  If there are songs or other audio files we
> should be playing, let us know. If you've got a great radio voice, offer
> to record texts for us.

> NO SWEAT SNEAKER
>
> The world's only 100% union-made sneaker (that's "trainer" to us over
> here in England) is being rolled on on May Day 2004.  Made by unionized
> workers in Jakarta, Indonesia, this is another great idea from the
> people behind NoSweat Apparel.  If you buy the sneaker now, shipping is
> free of charge.  More details are here:

> CAN'T COME TO LONDON? LISTEN TO THE CONFERENCE ONLINE
>
> Tomorrow (Saturday, 7 February) an important conference is taking place
> in London -- the convention of the trade union left.  Speakers will
> include the RMT's Bob Crow, Billy Hayes of the CWU, Mark Serwotka of
> PCS, and many others.  If you can't attend, you can still listen to a
> live broadcast of the conference.  It's not on Radio LabourStart, but

> LABOURSTART LAUNCHED IN DANISH

> Our 12th language edition is now online -- in Danish.  You can visit it
> here:
>
> http://www.labourstart.org/da/
