Study in its The Labour Movement in Iraq: A Political Trends

Abstract

The development of the Labour Movement in Iraq is not much different from the development of the Labour Movement in the Third World, where Trade Unions led a bitter struggle for this class against slavery, exploitation and dictatorship. So the ruling regimes tried to make the demands of the working class confined to the narrow demands only concern them and tried to keep them away from the national forces that are struggling to save the country from these regimes. But, the leaders of the labour movement realized that they can not achieve its broad objectives in order to build a unified democratic society, without working with other community groups to form a real tool aiming at achieving the best interests of the people for change and building an advanced society. Therefore, this research studies the development of the labour movement in Iraq, since its beginning, and its role in the national movement and the study of its Political Trends.
