Genocide against workers

Today’s terrible news that scores of labourers queuing for work in Baghdad have been massacred and hundreds injured in Baghdad is further and ample proof of the TUC General Secretary Brendan Barbers recent comment that the so-called resistance and the religious fanatics are currently engaged in what some trade unionists there have described as genocide against workers. They are fairly clearly trying to stop trade unions from becoming a beacon for a secular, democratic, anti-sectarian and egalitarian civil society.
