A chance to hear from Iraqi union members talking about the situation in Iraq. Many org. sponsoring this event. See below.  Sunday, June 10thVoices of Iraqi Workers: 2007 Solidarity Tour—San Jose2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Laborers Hall, 509 Emory St. at Coleman Ave.  (south of Hedding St.)This is a rare opportunity for people in the US to dialogue directly with Iraqi workers and labor leaders about current attempts to control Iraq’s oil, women's issues under the occupation, and the role of unions in creating a non-sectarian, progressive Iraq. These courageous leaders struggled for years against Saddam Hussein’s repression. Now they have stepped forward to organize workers seeking to improve conditions at their workplaces and in their lives under the difficult conditions of occupation, sectarian division, and violence. They are fighting not only for basic labor rights for all workers but also for women’s equality and against privatization of their national resources.Suggested Donation: $5 - $15 sliding scale (No one turned away for lack of funds.)Sponsors:South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council, Building & Construction Trades Council, Communications Workers of America Local 9423, Plumbers & Fitters Local 393, Laborers Local 270, California Nurses Association, South Bay Mobilization for Peace and Justice, San Jose Peace Center, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, Friends of South Asia, Veterans for Peace, Labor Party, Green Party, Arab-American Cultural Center of Silicon Valley, our developing world, Students for Justice-SJSUEndorsed by Peninsula Peace and Justice Center.
