Trades Union Councils' Conference support Venezuela Revolution
- 16 June 2005
Yet another move forward has been made in the trade union movement in support of the
Bolivarian revolution.
A motion calling on trade unionists to support and promote the reforms
in Venezuela, was agreed at the Trades Union Councils’ Conference
Liverpool (UK) 10-12 June 2005.
In addition to the unanimous support by the Trades Union Councils
across the country, numerous copies of the DVD The Revolution Will Not
Be Televised were distributed. This has proven to be one of the most
effective tools at proving the lies and corruption of the opposition.
Yvonne Washbourne moved the motion on behalf of the West Midlands CATUC
and informed the delegates of the significant reforms made in Venezuela
and the illegal pressure of the US.
Nick Kelleher W-Ton TUC spoke in support of the motion and urged all
people to raise the issue within their international committees and
co-ordinate work through the VSUK. A full copy of the motion is
available on Venezuelasolidarity.org.uk and the action points included
1) Express its solidarity to the trade unionists of the UNT.
2) Support the Venezuelan people in their effort to extend social and economic freedom.
3) Support and promote Solidarity campaigns within Britain that support the popular reforms.
4) Encourage solidarity activities to be co-ordinated via the newly
established Venezuela Solidarity Campaign at venezuelasolidarity.org.uk.
Andy Goodall of VSUK stated: “At this moment when there is a real
threat of assassination by the fascist and US supported big business of
president Chavez. It is critical that workers in Venezuela are
supported worldwide and we put pressure on our national governments to
resist illegal US interference. Anybody interested in finding out more
