Iraqi Unions Under Attack

Trade unions are under attack in Iraq, this time not from Islamic extremists but the neocon variety. Unions bank accounts are being frozen by the Iraqi puppet government. One reason for this is union opposition to so-called privatization, which is of course really, “corporatization.” It is of the utmost importance that Western progressives and libertarians support the Iraqi trade unions. Not just out of trade union solidarity either, but also the fact that the trade union militants are the main secular and progressive force in Iraq. For more info see:
