1. Freedom at Work. This is a world conference aiming to mobilize trade union members, staff and officials and (potential) allies for the equality of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) workers. It will be held next month in Amsterdam, 4-6 August 2016. It's organized by Netwerk Roze FNV, a network of trade union members working for sexual and gender diversity, as part of FNV, the largest trade union organisation in the Netherlands. For more information, visit their website.
2. Last week, I spoke at a major European Trade Union Confederation conference in Brussels on the subject of "Workers rights, internationalism and the Internet". You may be interesting in reading what I said, here.

4. If you live in the USA, please take a moment to support the online petition campaign launched by the Communication Workers of America demanding that the Democratic Party take a strong stand against the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). For details, and to sign up, please click here.
5. Finally, I wrote to you earlier this week about our campaign against union-busting at WIPO. Many of you have already signed up to support the campaign. It's very important that we spread the word -- please make sure you've shared the campaign with your fellow union members. The campaign is located at http://www.labourstart.org/go/wipo2016 .
Thanks!
