Call For International Labor Action To Stop The War On Iraq
Whereas, working people in the US will pay for the war on Iraq both by budget
cuts on health, education, retirement and workers safety and,
Whereas the attack on Iraq by the US and the UK is an attack on the working
people of Iraq and the Middle East and,
Whereas, the war on Iraq is being used to escalate the attacks on workers
and worker's democratic rights including the US Constitution and in every
country in the world and,
Whereas, workers throughout the world and in every trade union must stand
together to oppose and stop this war and,
Whereas, united labor action internationally has the power to stop the war
machine,
Therefore be it resolved this body supports an international day of
labor/union action against the war in Iraq and in defense of all labor and
democratic rights throughout the world and,
Finally, this local will seek concurrence for this motion in every
affiliated body and organization and will seek to publicize this in the
labor movement as a whole.
