Service Employees back withdrawal from Iraq Workday Minnesota
One of the country's largest labor unions, the Service Employees International Union, is calling for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
The strongly worded resolution, passed June 22 by voice vote among 4,000 delegates at the 1.388-million member union's convention in San Francisco, demands 'an end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq.' And it advocates 'supporting our troops and our families by bringing our troops home safely (and) by not recklessly putting them in harm's way.'
Ending U.S. troop involvement in Iraq must go hand-in-hand with--and is absolutely needed for--social justice and protecting human rights at home. A withdrawal and emphasis on those rights would be 'promoting democracy, not subverting it,' SEIU declared.------------------------------------------- posted 6:36 AM :: reference link ::
