Anti-War Resolution

By Administrative Staff, ILWU. Posted December 13, 2002.

Oppose the U.S. War Against Iraq Motion

Whereas, the International Executive Board took a position against the U.S. war in Iraq in 1990, and

Whereas, the Bush administration is preparing for another war against Iraq, and

Whereas, under the guise of "national security" Bush will attempt to recruit unions to his war drive for big oil companies, and

Whereas, the issue of "national security" is being used by the Bush administration and PMA to undermine contract negotiations,

Therefore be it resolved that Local 10 oppose any new war against Iraq and call on other locals and labor councils to adopt this position, and

Furthermore be it resolved we endorse and participate in the September 14 anti-war march in San Francisco.
