DULUTH CENTRAL LABOR SAYS: "ORGANIZE TO STOP TRIGGER-HAPPY TEXAN" The Duluth, Minn., Central Labor Body, which represents all 15,000 AFL- CIO union members in the region, voted unanimously on Nov. 14 to pass the following anti-war resolution: Whereas, the United States and Britain have been bombing Iraq on a virtually continuous basis since the end of the Gulf War, and Whereas, the Bush administration has presented no credible evidence that Iraq has intentions of harming the citizens of this country or that Iraq presents a threat to the United States, and Whereas, the Bush administration is seeking any pretext to overthrow the government of a sovereign nation, in violation of international law, and Whereas, a war with Iraq would require the re-direction of vital resources and funds to a destructive, senseless, and illegal goal while further strengthening an administration that has restricted the civil liberties of its citizens, and Whereas, this administration is using the so-called "War on Terrorism" to distract the American people from the vital issues they confront, Therefore, be it resolved that the Duluth Central Labor Body goes on record as strenuously opposing the Bush administration's march toward war with Iraq without the direction of the United Nations, And be it further resolved that the Duluth Central Labor Body urge its members and affiliates to get involved with organizations working toward stopping the trigger happy Texan's march toward war with Iraq. - END - (Copyright Workers World Service: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this document, but changing it is not allowed.
