Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Sharon Hodgson (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 5 June 2007 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Iraq
- Question
- I thank the Minister for that reply. Does he agree that the Iraqi trade union movement seeks to unite working people of whatever religion, and even no religion? That requires the support of democrats everywhere to build a democratic, civil society, whatever their view about the invasion might have been.
- Answer
-
Yes, I agree entirely. Through the Department for International Development, we are providing funding for the International Centre for Trade Union Rights and have co-funded union training with Unison. The aim is to provide core training on the role of trade unions in the workplace and society, negotiating collective agreements, union organisation and, importantly, women’s involvement in trade unions.
