Two weeks ago we wrote to ask for your support for an online campaign to protest the repression against Zimbabwe's unions. We're very pleased that 2,976 of you have done so. Meanwhile, in Zimbabwe the repression has intensified and unions have called for a mass "stay-away" on 3-4 April.Our brothers and sisters in Zimbabwe are putting their lives on the line. The very least that we can do is mobilize our union memberships in solidarity with them.There is full coverage of the crisis in Zimbabwe on LabourStart, here:http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/show_news.pl?country=ZimbabweBritain's Trades Union Congress is organizing a demonstration next week:http://www.tuc.org.uk/international/tuc-13126-f0.cfmIs your union doing anything? Let us know and we'll publicize it.Finally, it's important to get thousands more of you to send off messages today. Three thousand messages is not nearly enough -- we need to make it clear to the Mugabe government that the international trade union movement is united and backs the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions. Spread the word -- and send off your own message today:http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=212
