Hi Derek, it would be wonderful if you comrades could declare a support message from Birlesik Metal picket line to the Occupy protestors in the US, Greece, Italy, and planned mass strikes in Portugal on the 24th, ae well as the European action for Public Services on the 30st, general strikes on the same day in Dallas, and UK! greetings to all comrades and friends there
Hey Dereck, did you have time to have a look at our union's website? Its at
www.nusslanka.org
Feedback from you will be very much appreciated.
Thanks Dereck, Iam also a full time employee of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, working as the senior reporter for The Worker newspaper, which they publish. Iam also the defacto news editor.
I would want to believe that we can always compare notes and learn a lot from each other. Good day!
Hi Derek, pleased to meet you thru UNIONBOOK. My best regards.

Hi Dereck, , my union, the National Union of Seafarers Sri Lanka (NUSS) is going to have a website designed for for us and the responsibility of creating a motto (Payoff line), vision and mission statements and doing a write-up about the union has fallen on my shoulders. Could you help? For Motto I have in mind " PROTECTING THE SRI LANKAN SEAFARER GLOBALLY". The NUSS is affiliated with ITF and is the only union dedicated to organizing, fighting for and defending the rights of seafarers. The NUSS also stand for decent work for Sri Lankan seafarers and also work towards their social protection, welfare and dignity. The NUSS is also committed to preventing marine pollution and reducing the carbon footprint of global shipping (sustainable/green shipping)
