NEW WORKER DELAYS

Saturday 7th September 2024

A key comrade, a volunteer who operates the computer program that lays-out the paper, has been injured in a fall and is now in hospital. Fortunately our veteran printer has come out of retirement to lend a hand and though we've lost a day’s production the New Worker is being printed this weekend and will arrive on your doorstep by Tuesday.

The Electronic New Worker will be emailed later today.

New Worker Summer Break

 Our volunteers are taking their well-earned summer rest immediately after the general election. The last issue of the New Worker before our two week summer break will be published on Friday 5th July. We will be back on Friday 26th July.

Postal Delays

 The Electronic New Worker was emailed normally on Friday. But due to a computer malfunction the printing of the New Worker was delayed by a day this week. The New Worker was dispatched on Saturday 13 April and should arrive on Monday. Please contact the Centre by phone or text if you have not received your copy by Tuesday.

Easter 2024

 The Easter edition of the New Worker was printed and dispatched on Thursday 28th March which means most, if not all of our subscribers, will get their copy on Saturday.

Delays: Edition 2244 Friday 8 March 2024

 The dispatch of the New Worker was delayed this week due to a glitch on our lay-out programme. This was resolved Sunday evening and, barring any further upsets, edition 2244 will be posted on Monday. In the meantime we will email the electronic edition to existing subscribers on request.

Easter Delays

 Usual delays due to postal delays due to the Easter public holidays. This week's paper should arrive on Tuesday 12th April. 

Delays in Publication

Sadly the comrade who does the electronic lay out of the New Worker is in hospital following a visit to A&E complaining of chest pains. The doctors now think he may have suffered a minor heart attack and he is now waiting for a possible by-pass operation in March. In the meantime he is being kept in for observation. This has inevitably meant that the latest issue of the New Worker, which should have been published on Friday 17th February has been delayed.

Other comrades who have the technical knowledge to use our InDesign programme have stepped into the breach and we hope to publish the 2196 edition and send out the Electronic New Worker by this weekend.

While this will ensure the continued production of the New Worker we can expect further delays in the weeks to come. In the long term we need to train others for this specialist work. But that will take time and money.

If we stood for nothing it wouldn’t matter. No one would miss us. But with US-led imperialism on the rampage piling on sanctions against China and funding the proxy war raging in Ukraine we have plenty to say. We stand for peace and socialism. That’s why we must keep going. All donations, big or small, to the fighting fund and the special appeal will help keep our presses rolling.
