Hassan Jumaa, President of Iraqi Federation of Oil UnionBackHassan Jumaa Awad al Assadi, President of the Iraqi Federation of Oil Unions (IFOU), spoke to over 200 people at Friends Meeting House on Wednesday 18th July. The IFOU represents 26,000 workers across Iraq. They have struck three times against the privatisation of Iraqi oil and have forced the Prime Minister Nouri Al Maliki to negotiate with them. Despite this, the IFOU is still an illegal organisation. Hassan describes the Union's campaign against the proposed Hydrocarbon Law, which will see much of Iraq's oil wealth fall into the hands of foreign oil companies. **un-edited footage** Category: News Uploaded: July 19th, 2007 @ 2:23 pm Author: adycousins Length: 32:46 Rating: Views: Tags: anti-war iraq oil union basra solidarity strike peace imperialism resistance Related Video Links:» View Video Comments For Hassan Jumaa, President of Iraqi Federation of Oil Union » View adycousins's Other Uploaded Videos Video Thumbnails:Video Embedding Code:* Embed this video on your website, social bookmark, myspace, or blog. |
