Federation of Workers’ Councils and
Unions in Iraq-FWCUI
FWCUI- Rep. Abroad, P.B 8553, 3001
Press Release by the President of Oil Workers Trade Union
In the shadow of current circumstances and the absence
of the state, the workers need each other more than ever, need to organize
themselves. At the same time they reject imposed organization by the superiors
but rather one on their own choice, which represents them. Furthermore our
union (FWCUI) had proven the truthful representation of the Iraqi labor hope
and will.
The submission of 20 identifications made by 20
unionists from our department (oil project company) and announcing their support
to our union and withdrawal from previously belonged union is a clear evidence
to prove our agenda after what they underwent under the former regime (such as
transforming the unions into a tool of oppression) also the attempts of Civil
Provisional Authorities (CPA) to imposing unions over the workers.
In addition it has proven that the workers from that
point on know who represent them and realizes the importance and necessities of
the association.
