ICFTU condemns attacks in DC and New York
Brussels September 11, 2001 (ICFTU OnLine): The International Confederation
of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) is shocked to learn of the horrific events that
have taken place today in New York city and Washington DC. At the time of
writing, attacks have been reported on the World Trade Center in New York
and on the Pentagon and Capitol.Hill in Washington DC.
"The news that the events have been instigated by terrorist groups is
abhorrent and defies belief. Under no circumstances can such actions be
justified", said Bill Jordan, ICFTU General Secretary.
The ICFTU sends its condolences to the families of the people whose lives
have been lost in these workplace attacks.
The ICFTU represents more than 156 millions workers in 221 affiliated
organisation in 148 countries and territories. ICFTU is also member of
