The first signatures of trade unionists in support of the Open letter to US trade unionists have started coming in. Signatures were also collected in many countries on May Day in the workers' rallies and will be coming in shortly. This is only the beginning of the campaign, so keep up the solidarity work. See the signatures on the Hands Off Venezuela website.
The recent belligerent statements and attacks on President Chavez coming from the representatives of the Bush Administration pose a direct threat to the working people of Venezuela. The Hands Off Venezuela campaign appeals to its friends in the American trade union movement to join with us in condemning these provocations and to place the maximum pressure on the Bush Administration to desist from these attacks. Please sign the open letter!
