IRAQI UNIONS NEED OUR HELP!

Donate to the US Labor Against The War Iraq Labor Solidarity Fund.
IRAQI UNIONS NEED OUR HELP!

The Iraqi labor movement is emerging from decades of dictatorship and repression, twelve years of international sanctions, war and now occupation. Two democratic labor federations are actively organizing workers to defend themselves against violations of their rights, privatizations of their jobs, lack of unemployment benefits, cuts in social subsidies, wages frozen below subsistence levels, and control of their workplaces by U.S. and other multinational corporations. These new unions need support from abroad. They lack the most elementary supplies, computers and other equipment needed to serve their members.

Trade unionists and other social justice activists in the U.S. can help by donating to the U.S. Labor Against the War Iraqi Labor Solidarity Fund.

All donations will be divided equally between the Iraqi Federation of Workers Trade Unions  and the Federation of Workers Unions and Councils (which includes the Union of the Unemployed in Iraq).

Make a generous donation* by sending your check to:

USLAW Iraq Labor Solidarity Fund
P.O. Box 153, 1718 M Street, NW
Washington, DC 20036

* Donations do not qualify for a tax deduction.
