Meeting Face to Face: Iraq Labor Leaders Tour The U.S.

In June 2005 six senior Iraqi trade union leaders toured the United States hosted by U.S. Labor Against the War, visiting 25 cities and speaking to several thousand unionists, peace activists, and others.

This documentary captures the energy and emotions of the tour while expressing the important substantive message Iraqi workers want to convey to all Americans: end the occupation; oppose the privatization of Iraqi national resources; and support the right of all Iraqi workers to organize free and independent trade unions.

The finished documentary will be distributed widely, beginning with the networks of United for Peace and Justice, U.S. Labor Against the War, Code Pink, Educators to Stop the War, and teacher unions and academic associations.

We welcome inquiries from organizations who would use the documentary for education and organizing.

Give financial support to complete the full 27-minute documentary.
