US Labor Against the War is bringing a group of Iraqi Trade Unionists to the United States to talk to the American people about what Iraqi workers face organizing that country. David Bacon is a spokesperson for the organization:

[Bacon]: Workers in Iraq need help and solidarity from workers in the US. The purpose is to give unionists from both countries the chance to talk to each other, to find common ground and to help to end the war and occupation.

Some of the issues to be addressed are the conditions Iraqi workers face and how US labor organizations can support them in building a progressive secular Iraq.
