Subject: Labor against War statement

The left side of the anti-war movement has recognized that some international legal action must be taken against the perpetrators of Sept. 11 which is a good thing but after looking at point 2 one may conclude it is a rhetorical flourish more than a serious commitment. Then again, one might say that about the tone of the whole statement.

NEW YORK CITY LABOR AGAINST THE WAR

September 27, 2001

September 11 has brought indescribable suffering to New York City’s working

people. We have lost friends, family members and coworkers of all colors,

nationalities and religions—a thousand of them union members. An estimated

one hundred thousand New Yorkers will lose their jobs.

We condemn this crime against humanity and mourn those who perished. We are

proud of the rescuers and the outpouring of labor support for victims’

families. We want justice for the dead and safety for the living.

And we believe that George Bush’s war is not the answer.

No one should suffer what we experienced on September 11. Yet war will

inevitably harm countless innocent civilians, strengthen American alliances

with brutal dictatorships and deepen global poverty—just as the United

States and its allies have already inflicted widespread suffering on

innocent people in such places as Iraq, Sudan, Israel and the Occupied

Territories, the former Yugoslavia and Latin America.

War will also take a heavy toll on us. For Americans in uniform—the

overwhelming number of whom are workers and people of color—it will be

another Vietnam. It will generate further terror in this country against

Arabs, Muslims, South Asians, people of color and immigrants, and erode our

civil liberties.

It will redirect billions to the military and corporate executives, while

draining such essential domestic programs as education, health care and the

social security trust. In New York City and elsewhere, it will be a pretext

for imposing “austerity” on labor and poor people under the guise of

“national unity.”

War will play into the hands of religious fanatics—from Osama bin Laden to

Jerry Falwell—and provoke further terrorism in major urban centers like New

York.

Therefore, the undersigned New York City metro-area trade unionists believe

a just and effective response to September 11 demands:

*NO WAR. It is wrong to punish any nation or people for the crimes of

individuals—peace requires global social and economic justice.

*JUSTICE, NOT VENGEANCE. An independent international tribunal to

impartially investigate, apprehend and try those responsible for the

September 11 attack.

*OPPOSITION TO RACISM—DEFENSE OF CIVIL LIBERTIES. Stop terror, racial

profiling and legal restrictions against people of color and immigrants, and

defend democratic rights.

*AID FOR THE NEEDY, NOT THE GREEDY. Government aid for the victims’

families and displaced workers—not the wealthy. Rebuild New York City with

union labor, union pay, and with special concern for new threats to worker

health and safety.

*NO LABOR “AUSTERITY.” The cost of September 11 must not be borne by

working and poor New Yorkers. No surrender of workers’ living standards,

programs or other rights.

Subject: Labor against War statement

Please email me the NY City Labor against the War statement. I am the

executive director of Peace Action, the country's largest peace group

with over 85,000 members. I'd like to be able to distribute the

statement and contact progressive labor leaders about working with peace

groups to oppose the war.

In Peace,

Kevin Martin
