I am pleased to join this action. I have sent off my letter through LabourStart but this site gives me other things I can do - an easy way to tell my friends and work mates and invite them to join. How lucky are we in Australia where we can freely belong to trade unions. I never want to take it for granted. Thank you Eric for your tireless work.

I see some New Zealand members here. Just wondering what else we can do. Last week I managed to get a petition into the Korean embassy in Wellington, and am continuing to get people signing a petition to LMB. I was thinking of getting some official letters out to academics and unions. If anyone would be keen to help, or has other suggestions they would be welcome. I am in Dunedin by the way.
Solidarity!!
