GLOBAL: As of February 1, 2010 the web-based resource RadioLabour http://www.radiolabour.net/ will start broadcasting a weekly 20 minute programme called "Solidarity news". The programme will go live every Monday morning.
According to RadioLabour, the new web service will help to promote global communication between labour organizations of the South and the North and will focus primarily on union and workers' issues and activities around the world emphasizing the situation in emerging economies and developing countries.
The audiocast is presented by labour educator Marc Bélanger. The reports will be based on materials created by RadioLabour reporters and interested unionists will be also given the opportunity to supply their materials for audio reports.
The scripts of the audiocasts will be stored on the website and will be available for unionists who want to improve their English speaking skills as an additional language in the international labour movement.
