The Lothian Iraqi Workers Solidarity group organised a successful public meeting on building practical solidarity for Iraqi trade unions in Edinburgh o 23 September.
The speakers emphasised the need for resources from trade unions here to facilitate organising in Iraq and were firm on the militias being murderous to Iraqi workers .
Abdullah Muhsin cited one story of six women cleaners standing waiting on a bus to go to work being gunned down from a car as "collaborators" .
Alex Gordon made the point to the Stop the War coaliton - have we really to go to our members here and ask them to support these militias when they do this?
The meeting discussed a flag day to raise money and awareness and will be having its next organising meeting on Tuesday 5th October at 7.30pm in the Trade Union Resource Centre in Albany street. All Welcome!
