Imagine this scene: workers, somewhere in the world, need help. Maybe their employer doesn't like trade unions and is refusing to negotiate with them. Or maybe it's much worse -- maybe some of their leaders have been jailed, or killed.

Those workers get the word out -- with their appeal for protest or solidarity messages -- through the net to their union. And their union tells us.

Until now, what we've been able to do is put their story on LabourStart, and get their appeal out to our mailing list. And hope that others would spread the word.

But we can do more than that. We can make sure that their appeals appear simultaneously on dozens, perhaps hundreds, of websites.

Imagine the impact: within minutes of an appeal reaching us in London, websites all over the world would carry links to a user-friendly page which would allow the sending of messages of protest or solidarity.

It would act as a 'force multiplier', to borrow a term from the military. It would greatly expand our effectiveness. And it would make it harder for employers and governments to crush workers and their unions.
