Will you support us?
2026 is going to be a challenging year for the world’s trade unions. Right-wing, anti-union governments are becoming more common. The world grows increasingly unstable. Workers need powerful unions now more than ever.
LabourStart is there, every day of the year, doing what we can to support working people and their unions.
In 2025, we ran fifteen campaigns in support of workers and their unions in Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Guatemala, Lesotho, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Serbia, Sri Lanka, Türkiye, and the USA. Many of those campaigns were run in partnership with global and European labour federations, including the Education International, ETF, IndustriALL, PSI and UNI Global Union, as well as local unions.
In addition, our network of hundreds of volunteer correspondents posted over 38,000 news stories in 2025, in dozens of languages. LabourStart remains the best place online to find out news about workers and their unions.
Our podcast series continues to grow its base of regular listeners and this year featured a number of trade union leaders and activists from around the world — including Azerbaijan, Belarus, Canada, Lesotho, the Netherlands, Norway, Serbia, Turkey, and the USA.
In 2026, we’ll be growing our network of volunteer correspondents and translators, preparing for a LabourStart Global Solidarity Conference in 2027, doing many more podcasts and campaigns — basically doing whatever we can to help.
To continue this work, we rely on the ongoing support we’ve received from you.
These are difficult times for working people as we face rising costs. I wish we didn’t have to ask, but we do. LabourStart urgently needs your donations to ensure that our work continues uninterrupted, especially during the coming weeks and months.
We hope that we can continue to count on your support.
Thank you!
