Regarding the
textile workers strike
We must expand the protest movement to include all fields in
the entire country
The textile workers in kadhimiya had a strike for more than
two weeks amid the persistency of the workers to have their demands met.
Hundreds of workers are working and using very old style and
dangerous machines and tools that caused many casualties or injuries among the
workers, which lead to long-term disability in most of the cases.
The ministry has intervened many times to put the workers
under pressure by threatening them to be fired or relocated. The former
minister issued a number of resolutions preventing the workers from forming
their own unions in their workplaces and the return to the resolutions enacted
by the former regime, however the workers did not want obey these rules.
To guarantee the success of the workers in achieving and
meeting their demands we have to expand the protest movement to include the
entire country, simply because our demands are the same as the ones of other
factories and plants everywhere else.
More than two years have passed and the labor movement is
growing however, it has not reached the level of being widespread movement. The

The worker council and unions in Iraq who organizes workers
from different sects and fields, attempts to organize the labor movement across
the country and lead a widespread protest movement to stand against any enmity
policy that could hurt the workers and eventually to bring the workers
alternative to the current situation.
Join your union and revolve around your goals and your
interests to downfall the attempts of privatization, layoffs and freedom
limitations.
