At the May Day celebrations in Baghdad this year, the President of the IFTU Mr Rasem Al Awadi honoured 20 trade unionists for their services to working people and patriotic sacrifices for Iraq and the trade union movement.
The IFTU President Mr Rasem Al Awadi honoured the 20 veterans of the Iraqi Trade Union movement, including Hadi Saleh our murdered comrade.
These comrades fought for democracy, jobs and above all the right of Iraqi working people to form and join independent, free and democratic trade unions, for the right to strike and the right to trade union representation.
