Thing to do on forums, comment places, articles
Everytime you read an article about public services, about a demo of public servants, about Bolkestein... about anything you
can relate to the petition.
- Try to find if you can add a comment
- Take the few minutes to do it (you often have to register...)
- But stay relevant and ethical (don't spam)
Have a text ready, but try to customise it.
I think that to defend the public services, you need a protection at the European level, otherwise our country will have to accept that the hospitals are going to be private and most won't be able to afford them.
I've signed the petition of european trade union confederation petition at this site: http://www.petitionpublicservice.eu and I encourage you to do the same if you want high quality public services for all.

Things to do for your newsletter/mail server
Again: so far, the links from the emails have been 10 time more effective than any website.
Part of the success is due to the change on the ETUC/ETUI/eurocadres mail servers. Every mail sent has a signature added.
What to do to change it depends of your mail server and the infrastucture. Based on the results, that's really worthwhile doing.
If you can't, ask everyone in your trade union to do it in their mail client.
