In Sulaimaniya Iraqi Kurdistan, 850 workers from Tax collection offices have been striking alongside thousands worker all over the governor for 2 months because the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) refused to pay Government workers wages for several months.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

At the last meeting between the representatives of workers and the office managers.\u00a0 The Managers threatened the workers by calling the security forces and detained the worker\u2019s representatives for 3 hours.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The representatives proposed, going back to work on the condition that the managers pay the workers\u2019 wages from the collected tax incomes and send the rest to the Tax office, otherwise the strike will continue. This proposal was interpreted as a threat by the KRG from the striking workers, so the Tax office managers decided to move 6 to\u00a014 of the workers\u2019 representatives from Sulaimaniya to the Dohok governor. The decision has been confirmed verbally and the known names of workers who going to be moved are (Ali Mahmud, Hazha Salar and Dilshad Omer).<\/span><\/h3>\n

This KRG Tax office decision is a brutal punishment against the rights of workers to strike and to demand their unpaid wages.\u00a0 We request your solidarity and that you appeal against this anti worker’s right decision; calling on the KRG Tax office and Trade and Economy ministry to abolish this decision and pay the worker\u2019s wages; recognize<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0the right to strike; move the 6 workers representatives back to the Sulaimaniya office.<\/span><\/h3>\n
