For Immediate Release - Sunday July 17th 2005 15,000 Southern Oil Company workers from the General Union of Oil Employees – Iraq’s largest independent union – began a 24-hour strike today, stopping most oil exports from the south of Iraq. The strike is in support of demands made by Basra Governor Mohammad al-Waili – reflective of the wishes of the vast majority of Basra’s residents - for a higher percentage of Southern oil revenue to be ploughed back into Basra’s local economy. Basra’s sewage system, electricity grid and medical services are still damaged and running at limited capacity. Despite being the capital of Iraq’s oil reserves, the governorate is still struggling with entrenched poverty, malnutrition and an unemployment rate of 40% |
