BREAKING NEWS: Iraqi Port Workers to Stop Work in Support of ILWU

From U.S. Labor Against the War

We just learned that the Port Workers Union of Iraq will conduct a one hour work stoppage in two of the principal ports (Umm Qasr and Khor Alzubair) on May Day in solidarity with the ILWU's shutdown of West Coast Ports against the occupation. This news was conveyed to USLAW by someone in England who is in communication with the leadership of the Federation of Oil Unions in Iraq, who were informed about this action by the leadership of the Port Workers Union.

Although the information came to us indirectly, we are confident about its accuracy.
