Stanley Heller
AFT #1547, Central Labor Council delegate
“I've been in AFL-CIO unions for over 40 years (Retail Clerks, Machinists,
Teachers) and a Central Labor Council delegate from the early
'70's. It's a disgrace that unions would own bonds
supporting a government that is
racist, anti-union and violent. They should all be sold off
immediately.”

Gulamhussein Abba
Gulamhusein A. Abba is an 81-year-old peace and justice activist, writer and
journalist with more than 50 years in journalism. He is originally from
Bombay (now Mumbai), where he was active as a trade unionist, political and human rights activist,
journalist and photographer. He organized and headed the Martime Petty
Officers Union and the Maharashtra
Studio Workers Union. He was also associated with
National Union of Seafarers of India and took a leading part in protesting
against the funding by India of Jayanti Shipping Corporation. When his
demand for bringing the Studio workers under the ambit of the Minimum Wages Act
was ignored by the Governmen of Maharashtra, he went on a fast unto death,
following the example of Mahatma
Gandhi whem he had met and was influenced by. This led to
questions being asked in the Assembly. The fast ended after 21 days when the
Minister for Labor agreed to his demand.
He is the Chairperson of The Danbury Committee for World Peace as also of
Justice for Palestinians Committee. His blog can be found at defyingsilence.blogspot.com
