Letter to the Editor

Letter to the Editor, The Retiree Advocate:

The Iraq Federation of Oil Unions has appealed for help in raising the $600 a month needed to publish its newspaper. Because the anti-worker laws of Saddam Hussein are still in effect, the union cannot collect dues or otherwise operate in a normal way. Their newspaper is the principal way the union communicates with its tens of thousands of members.

U.S. Labor Against the War is asking organizations to contribute monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or to make a one-time donation toward the $600 monthly goal. Individuals can help with small monthly contributions or a one-time donation. Expressing our solidarity in this concrete way can help this courageous union defend the interests of Iraqi workers and Iraqi society against corporate schemes to privatize Iraq’s oil resources. Please make your check to: U.S. Labor Against the War, 1718 M Street NW #153, Washington, D.C. 20036, with “Iraqi Union Newspaper “ in the MEMO line.
