Learn from two officers of the General Union of Oil Workers in Basrah about what the occupation has meant for working people and the labor movement. Both of these officers will speak and answer questions:

* Hassan Juma'a Awad Al Asada—union president and father of three daughters and three sons.
* Faleh Abbood Umara—union general secretary and father of two sons and two daughters.

These two Iraqi labor leaders will speak and answer questions on:

* How the U.S. still enforces Saddam Hussein’s 1987 law banning unions for most Iraqi workers
* How workers have successfully resisted privatization of Iraqi work places
* Why the oil workers’ union calls for an immediate end to occupation and for dismantling of all military bases

Learn what you can do to support these courageous workers and help Iraqis to build a sovereign, democratic nation ruled in the interests of all the Iraqi people. Find out what you can do to end the occupation, to bring all U.S. troops safely home, and to invest our resources in meeting human needs.
