Workers of Power Station in Nasiryiah Begin a
Strike
Workers of
many sectors of industry and social service in
After the
protests by workers of Soft Drinks, Textile and Electricity, the workers of
power station in Nasiyriah, the largest power station
in the country, started a strike demanding improvement in their living and
working condition. They also ask to improve the performance of the station as
the residents of this city suffer from sever shortage in electricity.
The protest
of workers to improve their living and working conditions will continue and all
oppressive resolutions in force can not put an end to it.
The working
class has practically proved its capacity to challenge the resolutions, which
deny workers the right to strike and hold gatherings and consider workers in
public sector public servants. These resolutions were passed by the Baath regime and are today used by current administration
whenever the daily struggle by working class intensifies.
By asking
for their unpaid allowances the workers of electricity in Nasiyriah put
the authority before its responsibilities and force it to meet their demands.
The
Federation of Workers’ Councils and Unions stand in the forefront of the
protest movement by workers and regards the strike by workers of Nasiryiah power station and their demands the
continuation of the demands presented by the FWCUI.
The draft of
labour law proposed by the FWCUI is the right answer to workers’ demands and by
struggling to implement it; workers can impose their objectives on the current
authorities.
Longlive the daily struggle of workers
Longlive Freedom
Longlive workers’ willpower
