	World Federation of Trade Unions
		The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) is composed of associated and affiliated trade unions representing the collective interests of about 130 million workers from 120 countries worldwide.
		The WFTU seeks to realize the aforementioned objectives by organizing and coordinating international solidarity actions; disseminating information; organizing seminars and conferences; assisting in capacity building; conducting research and training activities; and representing its union affiliates in international and inter-governmental institutions.
		The WFTU holds consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, the ILO, UNESCO, FAO, and other UN agencies.

	WFTU and Workers
		In its World Labor Reports, the ILO shows that much of the numerical decline in terms of trade union membership is attributable to such economic factors as reduced public sector employment, heightened economic competition and a falling share of manufacturing industries in total employment.
		The world economy cannot grow and world trade cannot develop when more than two-thirds of the world population are deprived of their purchasing power by the mechanisms of brutal exploitation, unequal exchange and other survivals of colonialism and neo-colonialism.
		World trade does not measure up to its actual potential mainly because demand is inhibited by the falling purchasing power of the vast majority of the world population.

	International Unions
		The earliest international trade union bodies were closely allied to socialist groups, and even today in many important international bodies the bulk of the affiliates are socialist oriented.
		After World War II the IFTU was dissolved and a new organization, the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), attempted to include both Communist and non-Communist unions.
		Trade unions from democratic nations soon found it impossible to work with the Communist-controlled bodies and left to form the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU).

		The worldwide protests against the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia by NATO in the last seven days demonstrate that world public opinion finds it utterly unacceptable that a military alliance of some states assigns to itself the responsibilities which under the UN Charter belongs to the UN Security Council.
		Member States of the UN representing the greater part of the world population have strongly denounced the NATO intervention as a violation of the UN Charter and accepted norms of international law.
		The WFTU fully supports the demand made by many member States of the UN that all parties to the conflict should respect UN Security Council resolutions 1199 and 1203 and actively explore a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

	World Federation of Trade Unions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) was established in the wake of the Second World War to bring together trade unions across the world in a single international organization, much like the United Nations.
		After a number of Western trade unions left it in 1949, as a result of disputes over support for the Marshall Plan, to form the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, the WFTU was made up primarily of state-run unions from communist countries and unions affiliated with or sympathetic to communist parties elsewhere.
		The WFTU has declined precipitously in the past twenty years since the fall of the communist regimes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, with many of its former constituent unions joining the ICFTU.

	Iraqi Federation of Workers' Trade Unions (IFTU): July 2004 Archives
		The unions which remained under the GFTU were provided with substantial incomes from compulsory subscriptions deducted from workers’ pay, and developed a large asset base (mostly buildings) in return for which the GFTU acted as a transmission belt to workplaces and workers for Ba’ath Party policies, also acting as ambassadors for the regime globally.
		In practice, these are trade unions in al but name (and often they have adopted and are proud of the label of a union), covering sectors such as teaching, journalism as well as more traditionally “professional” organisations such as doctors and lawyers.
		Unions are dealing with problems of vandalism (train drivers and airport workers slept on site during the worst of the looting to protect their workplaces), unemployment (running at over 50% generally, partly because of the demobilisation of the army) and inadequate management — failure to pay wages on time and so on.

	XVth WORLD TRADE UNION CONGRESS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		At that time, the divergences between trade union organisations were many, but the urgent need to respond to the colossal economic, social and human devastation made it vital to overcome their prejudices and to rise above their ideological and political differences.
		The participants at the XVth World Trade Union Congress, convened by the World Federation of Trade Union in Havana from 1 — 4 December 2005, acknowledge that these challenges are greater today and reaffirm the objectives that inspired the international trade union movement 60 years ago.
		Our trade union actions cannot be restricted solely to statements, rhetoric and representations of an institutional character that contribute only toward developing forms of bureaucratization that detach our actions from economic and social realities and must be transformed.

	Party for Socialism and Liberation
		The immediate liberation of five Cubans wrongly imprisoned in the United States for fighting terrorism by ending terrorist attacks from the U.S. against Cuba, was demanded Saturday by the 15th World Federation of Trade Unions Congress which was attended by more than 500 union leaders from 75 countries.

		Faced with these facts, says the resolution, five Cubans were sent to monitor the activities of Cuban-American terrorist groups that operate from Florida, thereby preventing a higher death toll of both Cubans and U.S. residents in the attempted commission of further acts of terrorism against the Island..

	After the terror: Net helps world's unions speak in a single voice - by Eric Lee [LabourStart]
		Socialists and trade unionists (with some notable exceptions) followed their governments' lead and working people died by their millions slaying one another in a war that was not theirs to win.
		Among the countries whose trade union movements are affiliated to the WFTU are a number on the US State Department's list of those which support terror, including North Korea, Cuba, Libya and Syria.
		The much larger International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) -- to which the TUC is affiliated -- has posted dozens of statements from global and national trade union bodies, all speaking in a single voice and condemning the slaughter of innocents in the United States.
