Iraqi Trade Unionists to tour USA

Iraqi Labour Leaders are to tour the US in June of 2007,

Their message: "Troops out now. Iraq's oil belongs to the Iraqi people!"

Two leaders of Iraq's labour movement, Sister Hashmeya Muhsin Hussein, President of the Electrical Utility Workers Union, and Brother Faleh Abood Umara, General Secretary of the Federation of Oil Unions, will tour a dozen U.S. cities between June 4 and June 29, 2007.

During their visit, they will address members of Congress, labour audiences and the general public about the impact the U.S. occupation has had on the labour movement and daily lives of working people in Iraq.

They will speak about reconstruction and will explain why the labour
movement is opposed to the proposed hydrocarbon law favoured by the
Bush administration and oil corporations which would put foreign oil
corporations in effective control of 2/3 of Iraq's undeveloped oil
reserves.

They will also describe the likely consequences if the
occupation abruptly ends and prospects for a stable, democratic,
non-sectarian future for Iraq.
