While Iraq is still in the grips of armed civil conflict, workers are reorganising and attempting to improve their wages and conditions. Following dismissals of hundreds of workers at a state owned leather factory, the Federation of Workers Councils & Unions of Iraq organised a number of actions to highlight their plight. Meanwhile, in a co-ordinated action, some of Iraq’s major unions have written to the ILO to complain about the lack of labour laws guaranteeing workers rights.
