The Iraqi Workers Conclude their Second Conference Successfully

 

Despite the security concerns and marshal law that have been exercised in the eve of the second anniversary of the occupation, the FWCUI  have successfully held its second conference attended by more than 200 labor activists and representatives from all across Iraq.

Many topics were put forward to the conference for discussion, and they are as it follows:

1. the role of the workers in deciding the fate of the Iraqi political future
2. the trade unions freedoms and association
3. the role of the workers in introducing progressive and contemporary labor law
4. the role of women in building trade unions

 

Serious discussions and debates were noticed around these areas, and then the vote regarding the conference resolutions, and a modification regarding the union slogan were held. Later on a new executive board members were elected.

Finally the conference concluded successfully after its resolutions have been adopted unanimously as a ground work for the upcoming activities.
