Jump To Comment: 1 2When Paul Bremner was put in charge of Iraq as it's interem govenor after bush declared "mission accomplished", he tore up every law which Sadam Hussein had enacted......except....the one which prevented the the Iraqis forming of unions.
Like thatcher and Regan and their think tanks, they see unions as the one stumbling block to 'progress'.
On one refinery in Basra, a group formed to repair a refinery, no money, no conditions, no food or shelter. They got it up to 59% opperational by scavanging parts after it had been bombed in the invasion. The work was done because the oil workers saw repairing the refinery as imperative to the future of Iraq and took the initiative when a team from Haliburton showed up. They were told that the refinery was being built on an'open-ended contract'. They refused to go and they called in the f-16's, There were 750 men and their families supporting them in their work, the planes destroyed the refinery and HB moved in.
If I can find a link I'll get it.
Sorry I didn’t include contact details yesterday . I copied the press release from an email dated June 6 which originated from Naftana.
Naftana is an independent UK-based committee supporting democratic
trade unionism in Iraq. It works in solidarity with the IFOU. It strives to publicize the union's struggle for Iraqi social and economic rights and its stand against the privatisation of Iraqi oil demanded by the occupying powers. For more information see the IFOU's website www.basraoilunion.org
