Workers Action Forces Iraq Government To Reverse Wage Cut Order

category international | worker & community struggles and protests | other press author Wednesday September 17, 2008 17:36author by pat c Report this post to the editors

Militant action by Iraqi workers has forced the quisling government to reverse its assault on workers living standards. Full text at link.

Following days of demonstrations and strikes by thousands of workers, the Iraqi government reversed its order to cut wages by up to 30% and eliminate many industrial labor benefits. The authorities agreed to direct negotiations with the representatives of the workers.

Workers were able to achieve a number of major demands, such as stopping pay and benefit cuts, and above all advancing the demand for freedom of association and other labor rights that have been denied to Iraqi workers both under the dictatorship and by the U.S./British occupation.

An update on the Iraq trade union movements struggle against the Quisling administration. Full text at link.

Thousands of electricity workers took to the street on September 16, 2008 in Firdaws Square in Baghdad in a demonstration called and led by General Federation of workers Councils and Unions in Iraq (GFWCUI) represented by Subhi Albadry, President of GFWCUI and Labor Movement Unifying Bureau represented by Hassan Juma, president.

This event came as a result of the current situations of the infrastructure (electricity that is given to people about one hour a day in particular). The workers came from different parts of Iraq to denounce the government performance especially the minister of electricity; corruption and the neglect that is given to this sector and its employees by the current government, let alone the banning of freedom of association.
