iraqi oil workers photo exhibit in berkeley

Iraqi oil workers in Basra reorganized one of Iraq's oldest unions, faced the occupation's prohibition on collective bargaining in the public sector, and forced US contractor KBR to leave the oil districts. They've helped workers organize in other industries, and have defended Iraq's oil against the threat of privatization. This photodocumentary project shows them at work on the rigs and in the refineries, and their life at home with their families.
