WE WOULD LIKE TO inform the readers of labornet.igc.org about the ongoing
struggle of trade unionists in Haiti against privatization. In April-May
2008 the International Workers of the World made a delegation to Haiti to
build solidarity with the Confederation of Haitian Workers. This IWW Blog
for this visit can be viewed at The
Confederation of Haitian Workers website is located at In addition a number of articles over the last
year have shed more light on the struggle of Haitian workers to organize in
their work places and battle neo-liberalism. Here are just a few articles:
