On Tuesday (6th June) at 19:30 Iraq Union Solidarity
will be holding a public meeting at the Marchmont
Street Community Centre - showing 2 new short films
about the Iraqi trade union movement.
IFC GOES FORWARD
A film about the Iraq Freedom Congress, a democratic
and secular initiative supported by the Federation of
Workers' Councils and Unions in Iraq, as well as the
General Union of Oil Employees. The film includes
extensive footage of workers' struggles going on in
Iraq, as well as of a 2005 strike where Basra's
students protested against murderous attacks carried
out by Islamist militias against fellow students. *23
mins
MEETING FACE TO FACE
In June 2005 six senior Iraqi trade union leaders
toured the United States, hosted by U.S. Labor Against
the War, visiting 25 cities and speaking to several
thousand trade unionists, peace activists, and others.
This documentary describes the workers' movement in
Iraq while expressing the message they want to convey
to the world: opposition to the occupation; oppose the
privatisation of Iraq's resources; and support the
right of all Iraqi workers to organize free and
independent trade unions. *27 mins
The meeting will be held @ Marchmont Street Community
Centre, Marchmont St., WC1 (Nearest tube Russell
Square).
