rights.

You will find below the Appeal for this international workers' 
conference, which will be held January 14-17 of the year 2000

Committee in conjunction with the San Francisco Labor Council 
(AFL-CIO). 

Following the text of the Open World Conference Appeal is a first

the Conference Appeal and your support. Please send us your 
endorsement of this Appeal as soon as possible, and list 
exactly how you would like to be identified. 

Also, we urgently need your financial support to produce and

APPEAL for an Open World Conference of Workers in Defense of
Trade Union Independence and Democratic Rights


>From every corner of the globe, we hear the same message from 
governments and the multinational corporations they serve: It is 
working people who must relinquish their jobs, social protections 
and, most important, their independent trade unions to permit 
global capital's "free trade" agenda to move forward. It is we who, 
in the name of "modernization" and "globalization," must forfeit 
all the gains we have won over decades of struggle.

The existence of international labor rights -- particularly the 
right to collective bargaining and the right to strike -- are 
considered barriers to "free trade." Indeed, the traditional trade 
union, we are told, is not suitable for the workplace of the new 
millennium insofar as it said to "hamper" a corporation's ability to 
compete in the global economy.

In our own experience in the United States we have witnessed 
countless efforts by the employers and the government to restrict, 
suppress and even bust unions. The assault has taken various 
forms -- PATCO, Taft-Hartley, Landrum-Griffin, the Hatch Act, 
state "right-to-work" laws, Congressional back-to-work orders for 
striking railworkers, "Paycheck Protection" acts, and lawsuits 
against unions and officers who respect picket lines -- such as in 
the West Coast Neptune Jade case. The list goes on. But the content 
is always the same: to shackle the labor movement.

When this doesn't work, we have seen the employers and 
government try to integrate us into their plans. Under the pretense 
of making us their "associates" and "partners," they deploy all 
sorts of schemes to undermine collective bargaining and to roll 
back our rights and working conditions. They also hold out the 
promise of toothless "side agreements" and other such language to 
get us to drop our fight against NAFTA and the Multilateral 
Agreement on Investment (MAI), which are so crucial to global 
capital's "free trade" agenda.

What can we do to fight back?

On June 7, 1998, close to 200 trade union delegates from 36 
countries met in Geneva to counter global capital's assault on 
working people the world over and to promote a fightback in defense 
of trade union rights. The meeting, held on the eve of the annual 
convention of the International Labor Organization (ILO), was 
called by the heads of 17 national trade union federations in Africa 
and the International Liaison Committee for a Workers' 
International (ILC), a coalition of trade unionists and activists in 
82 countries fighting the structural adjustment policies of the World 
Trade Organization (WTO) and International Monetary Fund 
(IMF).

Ed Rosario, coordinator of the Western Hemisphere Workers' 
Conference Against NAFTA and Privatizations, was the keynote 
speaker at the Geneva meeting. Brother Rosario, who represented 
the San Francisco Labor Council (AFL-CIO), called for an 
international labor fightback in defense of the ILO conventions 
(right to collective bargaining, ban on child and forced labor, ban 
on discrimination in employment, equal wages for work of equal 
value, etc.) against all the attempts by the WTO and IMF to subvert 
and ultimately destroy them. He also urged the conference 
participants to join the struggle for Global Unionism charted by the 
Western Hemisphere Workers Conference, which was held in 
November 1997 with the participation of 412 delegates from 20 
countries -- including a representative from the national AFL-CIO.
A central concern expressed by all the trade union delegates in 
Geneva was the growing threat to the independence of the trade 
unions on all continents. They took note of the increasing attempts 
by the WTO and IMF to break the power of the unions by seeking to 
incorporate the leaderships of the trade unions into "Social Pacts" 
and "Roundtable Agreements" with the very governments and 
bosses that are dismantling our jobs, worsening our working 
conditions and attacking our very unions.

Such pacts are based on the idea that labor, management and 
governments must come together to find "common solutions," 
thereby putting aside what WTO head Renato Ruggiero calls the 
"confrontational relationship and frictions inherent in traditional 
labor-management relations."

The participants in the Geneva meeting called on working people 
throughout the world to reject the strategy of "Social Pacts," which, 
they warned, was the road to the integration-cooptation of the unions 
into the very fabric of globalization -- something the multinationals 
so desperately need as they seek to avert mass social upheavals that 
could threaten their anti-worker designs.

At the conclusion of the gathering in Geneva, the delegates 
concluded that there must be a world conference aimed at defending 
the independence of the unions -- and democracy itself, insofar as 
an independent labor movement is a cornerstone of a free and 
democratic society. They proposed a conference in the year 2000 in 
response to a United Nations Summit, to be convened in June of that 
year at the behest of the IMF and WTO with the explicit purpose of 
advancing the integration-cooptation agenda of the multinationals.
The UN Summit is designed to bring together all the players in the 
so-called "civil society" (local employers, multinational 
corporations, nongovernmental organizations/NGOs, churches, 
trade unions, charity organizations, lobbying groups, and political 
parties) into a common framework to promote more "democratic" 
and "participatory" free trade pacts and other anti-worker policies.

The time to act is now!

In answer to the June 7 appeal from Geneva, the Western 
Hemisphere Workers=B9 Conference Continuations Committee -- 
together with all the undersigned endorsing unions, trade unionists 
and activists =8B call upon all who seek to defend unions, to protect 
and advance the gains of the workers' movement and to guarantee 
that a safe environment exists as we move onto a better future for 
all people: 

Join us in organizing a worldwide workers' conference in early 
2000 in San Francisco.
 
Following as it will on the successful Western Hemisphere 
Workers' Conference Against NAFTA and Privatizations, our 
conference in the year 2000 will afford an opportunity to gather 
together unionists and activists from around the world to share 
experiences, to analyze the attacks of the bosses, and =8B most 
important =8B to chart an international fightback. We need to unite 
all those who are upholding the defense of independent trade unions 
and democratic rights, irrespective of country, union or political 
horizon.
 
We call upon unions and working people to endorse this call. 
Contribute information to a multilingual bulletin to be published 
regularly by the conference organizers on the issues confronting the 
trade union movement. Help us raise the funds necessary to ensure 
trade union delegations from around the world who will be present 
at the conference.

Please join us in building Global Unionism and an international 
movement against privatization, against the scourge of "free trade" 
agreements, against NAFTA and its extension into the FTAA, 
against the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI), against 
the destruction of jobs and benefits =8B and for the defense of our 
unions and our democratic rights.

A totally unified global response is the very response the bosses 
and the politicians most fear. This is precisely the response we must 
forge. We must send out the message: Labor is on the Move =8B No 
More Boundaries. By working together, WE SHALL OVERCOME!
