Facebook Group

I created a Facebook group on my campaign yesterday [14/12/09] and my group has already nearly hit 200 members. It is showing to me that the target audience is interested in the group and would want it to be in action. The members are growing every time I refresh the page.

Research on my Campaign

They are talking about how stagecoach has raised their prices once again and students are against the raise.

A group of people have set up a campaign for free transport in greater manchester, they have many companys and organsations to help get the cause in action. All sorts of people are signing up for this campaign, school kids, people wanting to reduce the cars off the roads.

Normal people have set up a basic web page on the side 'Bebo'. They arent happy about the increase of the price of the ticket and just adding that to each of their tickets turns a lot more money overall in the year just on bus travel.

Supporting Cambridge Postal Workers

Communication Workers Union (CWU) Eastern No4 Branch can confirm that Postal Delivery members employed at Cambridge Delivery Office (Henley Road) Ely Delivery Office along with the villages of Soham, Haddenham and Isleham will take 24 hours of industrial action on Tuesday 29th September 2009. 

They are fighting for the defence of Trades Union rights, and conditions of service. The Government is out to attack a key public sevice with the aim of privitising it. If they succeed it will be easier for them to attack other workers and services - they deserve all our support for the stand they are taking.

Workers are striking as they do not believe in the low pay and modernising the of the company. My view on this is that it is not good to strike as it is stopping others who need to receive their mail, I lost on a months pay as my company did not get my time sheet. Though I do understand why they did this.

Three Questions to ask students

The questions are towards my campaign 'Free bus fare for students [16-19]'

1. Do you think this campaign would be helpful for a lot of college students?
2. Would you join/be part of this campaign to get the cause in action?
3. Do you think is one of the things college students worry about?
