US dockers’ union calls for democratic resolution to political turmoil in Honduras

24 Julho 2009

A US-based dockers’ union is supporting the ITF’s condemnation of the military coup that took place in Honuduras in June and calling for a democratic solution. The coup saw the ousting of president Manuel Zelaya.

In a letter to the ITF on 22 July, Robert McEllrath, international president of the ITF-affiliated International Longshore and Warehouse Union, wrote to the ITF declaring that the union was calling for the political strife in Honduras to be resolved in a democratic manner. He said: “The military takeover of a democratically elected president and the removal of union workers from their jobs for organising peaceful demonstrations in support of president Zelaya are not acceptable.”

Last week, the ITF released a statement urging its affiliated unions to denounce the military takeover and stand up for democracy in the country by taking action against Honduran vessels.
