>Today we've awarded the Labour Website of the Week to a terrific site
>called Free East Timor Now! (located at http://www.freetimor.com).  The
>site is supported by four organizations in Australia, two of them trade
>unions (and one of those is the national center, the ACTU).
>
>Nearly all the international trade secretariats and the International
>Confederation of Free Trade Unions have issued calls for action by
>national unions around the world.
>
>In the last 48 hours there have been significant developments among the
>Canadian unions including a refusal by postal workers to deliver mail to
>the Indonesian embassy and a boycott of Indonesian goods called by the CLC.
>
>But LabourStart hasn't come up with many other examples of unions outside
>Australia and Canada which have mobilized in support of the East Timorese.
>If you know of such actions by unions, please do let us know.

>Thanks.
