DESCRIPTION:Two Iraqi labor leaders are featured speakers at a program  offering local 
 residents the chance to hear from workers who are struggling to end the 
 occupation, sectarian violence, and the repression of women and working 
 people in Iraq. Hashmeya Muhsin Hussein, the first woman to head a national 
 Iraqi labor union, is President of the Electrical Utility Workers Union, 
 and Faleh Abood Umara is General Secretary of the Southern Oil Company 
 Union.\nThey will explain why unions oppose the proposed privatization law 
 favored by the Bush administration and oil corporations. They will also 
 address the role of unions in rebuilding Iraq, and the prospects for a 
 stable, democratic, non-sectarian future.\nThe event is part of a national 
 tour sponsored by U.S. Labor Against the War, United for Peace and Justice, 
 and the American Friends Service Committee. Local sponsors include Central 
 Coast Workers Against War, Monterey Bay Central Labor Council, Resource 
 Center for Nonviolence, Women’s International League for Peace and
