All the news we get from Iraq, that country that the "coalition of the willing" bombed, brutalised and destroyed, in the name of so called "Western democracy", is of death and roadside bombings. Our view gets distorted by this single line "news" that we get from that babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream media. However, the people of Iraq are not all blowing each other up. People are working and fighting for better conditions, unions are organising to protect their members from the same exploitation that we get in the "Western democracies", they show the same solidarity in those struggles, the working class is universal, just as is the exploitation.

According to the reports from FWCUI and the union of leather workers around 200 employees, including both daily- waged and contracted workers, have been dismissed without due notice by the administration of the State Company of the Leather Industries. Many of the workers have had at least six years long service by the time of dismissal. Workers and their union are mobilizing to pressure the administration to rescind this decision.Read the full article HERE:
As a state-owned company the employer responds to the Ministry of Industry, however when the workers contacted the Ministry they were told that it was the decision issued by the administration and not the Ministry.
