On April 27th the Port Workers' Union in Khour
Al-Zubeir had its offices and committees closed down
by the port authorities - union officers have also
faced intimidation for their role in organising
dockers.
They were deprived of their salaries and kidnapped - taken to a
location 550km away from their homes - and their families
were also threatened. The authorities issued an order
for their arrest under Saddam Hussein's 1987 law
banning public sector workers joining trade unions.
