MESSAGE TEXT:

The Republic of Austria is the only European Union member which practices  
official segregation of shop steward (Betriebsrat), trade union (OeGB),   
and Chamber of Labor (Arbeiterkammer) elections. We demand that the  
Austrian Trade Union Federation (OeBG) and the Federal Ministry of Social  
Affairs (Sozialministarium) introduce effective and binding measures to  
integrate the Austrian labor organisations and officially outlaw ethnic  
segration. Should the Austrian Federal government and labor organisations  
refuse to take credible steps towards combating officially sanctioned  
ethnic segregation we demand that FRITZ VERZETNITSCH resign as head of the  
EUROPEAN TRADE UNION FEDERATION.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION



The EU trade unions have a declared racist as head of their organisation.  
Fritz Verzetnitsch is head of the Austrian Trade Union Federation and a  
member of Austrian Parliament. In this capacity he has played a central  
role in upholding Austria's ethnic segregation of shop steward elections,  
the trade union organizations and the semi-official Chamber of Labor  
(Arbeiterkammer). A man who openly opposes the desegregation of his own  
union can not be allowed to pretend to support ethnic integration on the  
EU level. Fritz Verzetnitsch practices segregation and preaches  
integration. The EU and the Europe Trade Union Confederation must act now  
to rid themselves of this man!


The European Union Immigrants Forum (EU-MigrantInnenforum-Oesterreich),  
BAMM, the Vorarlberg Chamber of Labor faction GEMEINSAM, the Tirolean  
GREENS Trade Unionists AK/OeGB, the Viennese and Lower Austrian trade  
union and Chamber of Labor faction DEMOCRATIE FUeR ALLE, the City of  
Salzburg Human Relations Council (Salzburger ImmigrantInnenbeirat), the  
Austrian trade union faction GE - Alternative GewerkschafterInnen, the  
Liberal Forum (LiF), integration speaker for the Province of Salzburg,  
ESAN Austria, and various other minority trade union and community action  
and social policy groups ask you and your organisation to support the  
international CYBER DEMO on May 28th.


Please send this announcement to all anti-racist, grassroots media,  
feminist, rainbow, gay/lesbian, Tricont solidarity and other LISTS you  
know of.
