On May 1, to coincide with the celebration of International Workers' day, the Hands Off Venezuela campaign launched an “Open Letter to US trade unionists”. The response to the appeal has been a great success. More than 1000 trade unionists have so far signed the Open Letter,
coming from a wide range of countries, from Argentina to Canada; Mexico
to Sweden; Israel to Austria. Signatories come from more than 20
different countries, including more than 300 signatures from members of
all major unions in Britain. Read the full report on Handsoffvenezuela.org.
Last year the International Labour Organisation (ILO) again sent a
delegation to Iran and reached a new agreement with the Labour Ministry
of Iran. This is a scandalous concession. The Iranian Workers’ Solidarity Network
therefore welcomes the move by a number of labour activists to expose
this sinister move against truly independent labour organisations. They
call on labour activists all over the world to support the Committee by
signing this letter of qualified support.
