Dear Philip
Kobane
The General Council and Executive Committee of the TUC have met recently and reflected on the struggle around the city of Kobane. Taking our lead from our colleagues in trade unions from Iraq, Iraqi Kurdistan and Turkey, we would urge the British government to do a number of things, on which I would welcome your response:
I look forward to your response, and would be happy to put your officials in contact with trade unions in the region who can advise further on the detail of many of these points.
I am copying this letter to the Home Secretary and the Secretary of State for International Development in view of the points made on refugees and overseas aid.
Yours sincerely
FRANCES O’GRADY
General Secretary
