Abdullah Muhsin - Iraqi trade unionist
Abdullah Muhsin has co-authored a book on the history of Iraqi unions, Hadi Never Died: Hadi Saleh and the Iraqi Trade Unions. At it’s launch in July Mushin described Iraq’s economy as pulverised by Saddam’s wars, bled by sanctions and further devastated by the invasion, looting and rampant corruption. He said that Iraq’s economy needs emergency investment and widespread reconstruction, adding that free and independent unions will play an important role in making sure investment in Iraq provides quality jobs and decent public services. "The emerging signs of vibrant civil society, such as organisations of women,
trade unionists and students, present a real opportunity to end the occupation and isolate the forces promoting sectarian, communal and religious violence." He will be addressing a series of public meetings in Wellington 12.30 and 5.15 on 28 Nov , Christchurch 12 pm and 7pm on 29 Nov and Auckland 12 pm and evening dinner.
