An Appeal

An end to the killing of workers committed by the armed militia in the
Iraqi cities.

Redistribution of the ration food without taking away any item listed in
the ration coupon.
·
Redistribution of the profits among the workers in the oil sector.

The upcoming
strike of the oil workers aims to bring security and build a free and
democratic society in
Iraq Freedom
Congress appeals to you to support and uphold the struggle of the southern oil
workers. This strike will hit the occupation and its puppet government hard. It
is the struggle that will unite the Iraqis against the sectarian gangs who aim
to plant discrimination among the workers and the rest of the society.
Your support and
assistance is another way to resist the occupation and further empower our front
in
Stand up for the
oil workers’ strike. Your support will strengthen Iraq Freedom Congress.
