Company Performance Metrics
LabourStart operates an online labour news and campaigning platform focused on the international trade union movement and workers’ rights. The company aggregates and curates labour-related news from a global network of volunteer correspondents, offering specialized newswires that can be filtered by language, region, country and thematic focus. It
provides free JavaScript and RSS feeds that unions and labour organizations embed into their own websites to display up‑to‑date labour news. LabourStart also runs the ActNOW campaign system, which enables trade unions and supporters to launch and coordinate rapid-response online petitions and solidarity actions on behalf of workers facing threats or rights violations. Its services support labour communication, global solidarity and mobilization across diverse sectors and countries. The organization additionally maintains topic-specific feeds, such as health and safety news and COVID‑19 coverage from trade unions, to inform and connect activists. LabourStart sustains these activities through donations and related publishing and advocacy work, while remaining focused on providing digital tools that assist unions in organizing and campaigning.
