Shawna Bader: "Iraqi Oil Workers are Living Under Tyranny!"

Sharing her views on the undemocratic and unfair labor situation in U.S.-Occupied Iraq was Ms. Shawna Bader-Blau, Senior Program Officer of the Solidary Center for the AFL-CIO. Background: The puppet regime installed in Iraq by the Bush-Cheney Gang has banned all trade unions. A rally protesting the suppression of workers' rights in that country was held on Aug. 16, 2007. It was sponsored by the AFL-CIO, its Solidarity Center, and the Washington, D.C. Labor Council. The event was held in front of the Republic of Iraq Embassy, at 3421 Massachusetts Ave., N.W.

There is NO oil union n Iraq. Never has been. No unions in middle east opec nations dumb fuck. The govt runs the show or have u not noticed that? Try living here & seeing it yourself. If u dont have the money to live here, save some money & become properly educated. Last time I saw Google is just another place to surf the web. All information on Google is similar 2 your information, laid out by people with political or personal agendas. But if it makes your pecker hard, continue dumb fuck cunt

U obviously don't know shit about the politics of the situation inside Iraq. The Iraqi Oil Workers Union has over 1/2 a million members, at least it did when this video was made. Do a little googling, YT or Wiking and you'll learn something. Anyway, you're right you know NOTHING about what YOU are talking about, since you seem to be an old petrofart.

OIL UNION? I have been in the Oil business for 32 years. The only oil union in existence is in California and the Norwegian Sector of the North Sea. Fuck off. After you explain the Oil Union shit, we will move to the rest of your fucked up statement. I work in Saudi by the way, and 1.5 years in Iraq. You have absolutely no idea what your tralking about

[breaks0]

No they're not. Go read the oil law and why the oil union opposed it and appealed to the us congress to get off Iraq's back, back in 2007 if not before. And actually they don't get shit. Most of the money goes to the handful of militias that in cahoots w/the Americans, the Iranians, the Saudis and some other foreign powers suck the country dry and have impoverished, killed or exiled the vast majority of its people.

Please explain how it is theft? r they not getting paid 4 the oil? What r the british doing n their supporting the theft then? If it is stealing, how come it is being pipe lined out & sent out by tankers? Would not the companies transporting the oil also be stealing? Please, what is your definition of theft? How come they get money 4 the oil? I didnt know paying for something was also stealing. Also all Iraqi debt has been relieved. What is stealing anyway?

[democratichypocrit]

Well, why dont you leave and work back in the UK where it is so "good"?

With all the graft and free spending of America dollars in Iraqi why than are the workers being beat down. Greed that why. The US needs to find better talent in the Foreign policy department.

[JohnDeBunkTest]

Worker rights trampled ... and that is what the USA is fighting to achieve in Iraq.

Kinda sad isn't it ?

Excellent series of vids. End the war now! Support HR 1234 and stop the war crime of theft of Iraq's oil. Global labor solidarity now!
