ACTU Congress acknowledges the ongoing and systematic repression of workers in Iran, including the harassment and detention of trade union activists and the lack of freedom of association and other fundamental workers’ rights.
Congress notes the ongoing international campaign by trade unions and supports the International Day of Action, scheduled for June 26, 2009.
The ACTU calls on the Australian Government to raise directly with the Government of Iran the violation of workers’ rights and work with others in the international community to press for an end to these abuses.
