Eric Lee: One day - three challenges

[Omaha Steve]

Today is a global day of action in support of Iranian workers. Events are taking place around the globe and you can see what's happening in your country or city by going here. (http://www.itfglobal.org/campaigns/osanloo-action.cfm) If you've not yet done so, make sure to sign up to the online campaign -- send a protest message to Iran here. (http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=339) Full coverage of Iranian labour news can be found here. (http://www.labourstart.org/cgi-bin/solidarityforever/show_campaign.cgi?c=339)

Today is also an international day of action in support of the victims of violence in Colombia -- hundreds of whom have been trade unionists. To find out what's going on in your part of the world today, click here: http://www.justiceforcolombia.org/?link=newsPage&story=174

Today is also International Book Day -- the perfect day to stock up on the books you need as a trade unionist. Please visit Labour's Online Bookstore today and buy at least one book: http://www.labourstart.org/books.shtml One of our favorites -- and it should be on every activists' bookshelf -- is the Troublemaker's Handbook. (https://ssl30.pair.com/unionist/ccp51/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?rrc=N&pg=prod&ref=Trouble&affl=labourstart) Remember -- every purchase you make at our online bookshop helps support LabourStart's campaigning activities.

Thanks very much -- I know that I can count on you.
