Martin Suchanek looks at how revolutionaries should respond to this Sami Ramadani on Iraqi trade unions and the resistanceApril 2008The leaders of the Alliance for Workers Liberty (AWL) argue socialists should not
fight for the withdrawal of US/UK troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
They claim that were the occupation to end immediately the Iraqi labour
movement would be annihilated by reactionary Islamic forces. At a
recent AWL day school, leading member Mark Osborne specifically claimed
that the movement behind cleric Muqtada Al Sadr had a policy of
"killing trade unionists". Curious to know whether there was any truth
in this claim Simon Hardy contacted Iraqi exile and academic Sami
Ramadani, from Iraq Occupation for Focus, for his thoughts. Sami replied quickly, exploding the argument
of the AWL that the occupying forces provide any cover for the Iraqi
labour movement. With thanks to Sami, we publish his reply here. |
