Sweeney Calls for Worker Rights in Iraq By Harry Kelber, Labor Educator
AFL-CIO President John J. Sweeney reaffirmed 'the need for a multilateral approach for the reconstruction of Iraq and its transition to democratic rule' after a meeting with U.N. General Secretary Kofi Annan on Jan. 22, attended by leaders of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU).
'The rebuilding of Iraq and the introduction of democratic self-rule will only succeed if the Iraqi people themselves have a major role and responsibility in the reconstruction process rather than being alienated from it,' Sweeney said.------------------------------------------- posted 7:32 AM :: reference link ::
