For the unions

Below you will find an Anti war motion for the unions and workers that's doing the rounds at the moment with a very good response so far. I hope you're all aware of this motion already. If not copy the motion below and urge your union through your branch to immediately pass this Anti war motion as a matter of grave urgency ASAP!

"That this branch/ADC is opposed to a US led attack on Iraq. We oppose the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein but believe that regime change is a task for the Iraqi people and not the US or UN . This branch/ADC agrees to:

(1) Publicly oppose the policy of the Irish Government of giving US warplanes access to Shannon to conduct a war on the people on Iraq.

(2) Support the ‘DON’T ATTACK IRAQ – US MILITARY OUT OF SHANNON’ national demonstration in Dublin on 15 February.

(3) Affiliate to the Irish Anti War Movement and to publicise and support their events.

(4) Have our union banner present at all future Irish Anti War Movement events starting with the national demonstration in Dublin on 15 February."
