In Iraq, the Bush administration still enforces Saddam Hussein's labor policies that ban unions for most of Iraq's workers.

In Iraq, over 400,000 Iraqi jobs have been ‘outsourced’ and currently there is 70-80% unemployment in Iraq.

The UN Declaration of Human Rights guarantees workers the right to freely organize and form unions.
If things got any more laughable I'd die laughing. They're so desperate as to trot out union thugs from Iraq to further discredit U.S. foreign policy. Just pull out the old Democrat/Union Thug propaganda playbook, fudge up some different numbers, and insert "Iraq" wherever you find "U.S." Ya gotta admit; if nothing else they're cleverly stupid.
