USLAW/UFPJ Sponsor Pro-Occupation Iraq Labor Speaker in LA (tags)
This month, US Labor Against the War, United for Peace and
Justice (UFPJ) and the American Friends Service Committee are sponsoring an "Iraq Labor Tour" to various U.S. cities.
These speakers will be coming to Los Angeles this weekend, June, 8-10th.
A couple of years ago a similar tour of Iraq labor leaders came to LA, who were very strongly opposed to the US Occupation.
This time one of the featured speakers represents the Iraq Federation of Oil Workers , which spearheads opposition to privatization of Iraqi oil and demands immediate U.S. withdrawal.
However, the tour also includes a representative of the General
Federation of Iraqi Workers (GFIW). The GFIW (formerly IFTU) is
sponsored by the Iraqi Communist Party (ICP) and former U.S.-installed Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.
These parties not only oppose immediate U.S. withdrawal, but support Bush's "surge," and demand that the Iraqi puppet regime crush Iraqi resistance -- positions that are echoed by the GFIW.
