Haiti - Humanitarian Appeal
19 January 2010
The ITF is urging affiliates to raise funds to support humanitarian aid efforts by local union's in the Dominican Republic crossing the border into Haiti with essential items.
Funds can be sent to the International Trade Union Confederation, ITUC who have launched a trade union appeal for earthquake-stricken Haiti, in cooperation with its regional organisation for the Americas, TUCA. The ITUC informs that funds raised under the appeal will in the first instance be used to provide humanitarian assistance via the ITUC affiliates in the Dominican Republic, CASC, CNTD and CNUS. The three Dominican Republic organisations have opened up their local trade union offices to collect funds and essential items, which are being trucked across the border into Haiti, in cooperation with the ITUC’s Haitian affiliate the CTH. In addition to this support, it is anticipated that funds will be contributed to the Red Cross appeal for Haiti.
Funds for the appeal may be transferred to the following ITUC account:
No. 375-1008200-61
Banque ING, Brussels Branch Institutionals, 1 rue du Trone, B-1000 Brussels
Code IBAN: BE 62375100820061
Code BIC/Swift: BBRUBEBB
The communication “SOS Solidarity – Haiti” must be included with each transfer to this account.
David Cockroft, ITF general secretary said "The international trade union movement stands in solidarity with the people of Haiti, we are urging the ITF family to support the ITUC trade union appeal and have made a donation from the ITF international solidarity fund"
