Good news: Iranian union leader released from prison r1 ... Esmail Abdi, the Iranian teacher trade unionist who has been in prison since he was barred from travelling to an international conference last year, has now been released on bail.

This is great news, and is due in part to the online campaign waged by the Education International and LabourStart.

Our thousands of email protest messages play a role. And the more messages that we send, the more likely we will achieve our goals.

This morning we've launched yet another campaign in defense of workers' rights.

This time our focus is Amdocs Israel, a high-tech company that believes its workers have no need for a trade union and is doing what it can to block union organizing. Those workers have asked for our help. Please take a moment to learn more and send your message telling the company to recognize the union:

Union busting continues in Turkey, where workers at CP Chicken have also launched a campaign on LabourStart. Not enough of us have signed up for that one and I encourage you help spread the word. Visit the campaign page to show your support:

Thanks very much!
