The
Trade Union Relations
Firstly: Arabian Relations
· On May 28, 1968 the Arabian Federation for
Textile,
Garment & Clothing was established, consisting of twelve
Arabic Countries, and based in Cairo. They are: Egypt,
Libya, Sudan, Tunis, Morocco, Algeria, Palestine, Jordan,
Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen.
The Secretary General of the Federation is Mr. Sayyed Rashed
who is also the President of the Egyptian Workers Federation
and the President of the Textile and Garment trade Union in
Egypt.
The President of the Executive Committee of this Federation
is colleague Fathallah Omrani, who is also vice president of
The Jordan Federation of Trade Unions of Workers and the
president of TGC Trade Union of Workers.
· Our Trade Union keeps very good
bi-relations with the entire counterpart trade unions in the
Arab World. Our Trade Union complies with the interconnect
and communicate with them through consultation and
participation in the conferences and other activities, and
through exchanging visits to discuss improving work
conditions and amendment of domestic work laws to be more
and more in accordance with the ILO standards.
Secondly: The International Relations
· ITGLWF- Bruxelles
This federation gathers about 217 million
workers through the membership of 217 workers’ organizations
come from 110 countries. In May 1995, our trade union became
a member of this federation. And the year 2001, colleague
Fathallah Omrani was elected to be a member in the Executive
Board of the Federation, and that was in the election took
place Sweden and for the years 2001-2004. Our trade union
participates in all of the federations’ activities at the
regional and international levels.
· TWARO- Tokyo
This organization brings together 53
organizations from 20 Asian countries, and represents about
two million workers in Asia. Our trade union joined this
organization in Melbourne- Australia on April 19th, 1996. In
its 12th regional Conference took place in Okayama- Japan in
Nov 2002, TWARO’s constitution was amended, so that one seat
in the EC was added for middle east region.
Colleague Fathallah Omrani was the only one who nominated
himself for the new seat, as Israel did not nominate any
candidate, and therefore he was accordingly elected
occupying that seat for the years 2002-2006. Our trade union
participates in all of TWARO’s activities that take place in
Asia and the Middle East.
· UIZENSEN- Tokyo
Our trade union keeps very good relations
and a strong friendship with people of this union. As a
result of this relation which is based on mutual
understanding and shared hopes and ideas, a great
humanitarian attitude and a generous donation was granted to
the workers of Jordan by their friends the workers, people
and government of Japan. In their visit to Jordan brother
Takaji and sister Akiko Gono, and after they became aware of
the hard conditions of the workers in their lives and works,
they took the initiative to support and help the union to
establish an advanced medical center that serves about
(15000) fifteen thousand workers in the north of Jordan. On
Jan 1, 2002 the medical center was opened. Its cost exceeded
(92000) USD Ninety Two Thousand.
Recently in Japan, we met brother Takagi, and told him about
the center’s need to a medical system that costs about USD
5000, and later on he remitted the amount as a donation from
UIzensen. Again, we are very grateful to the sisters &
brothers in Japan and can never forget their noble position.
· Relations with the American Workers’
Organizations
Our trade union keeps very distinguished
ties with the American trade union of workers in Textile and
Garment- NYK, The American Federation of Workers-
Washington- DC and The American Solidarity Center-
Washington- DC. The later Center grants our trade union a
yearly budget to conduct 4 workshops. The main aims of these
workshops are educating the workers and training union
leaders that understand the industrial relations as well as
the national and international laws and regulations. The
solidarity center also grants a yearly amount of money to
issue the quarterly news bulletin of our trade union.
We hope this support will continue to achieve the common
targets such as the spread of democracy, and activation of
human rights and achievement of the peace in our region.
· Relations with the World Movement of
Democracy
Our trade union participates in the
activities of this world movement, including its world
conference, which is conducted every two years. These
conferences discuss the problems of democracy and human
rights all over the world. Its first conference took place
in Turkey, the second was in the year 2001 in Brazil, and
the Third was arranged for it to be in South Africa but it
was postponed because of the war circumstances that the area
lived.
