Iraqi Trade Union delegates have received a standing ovation at the UNISON national conference.
Hangaw Abdullah Khan from the Kurdish General Workers Union:
"The international rule has been important in helping us have our first free elections and to avoid more disasters we need a federally united parliament," he said.
"We would like the British people to help restore stability in Iraqi Kurdistan and greater Iraq."
Bahra Othman, president of the Iraqi Kurdistan General Workers' Syndicate Union women's section, said it has not been easy for trade unionists in Iraq with the country recovering from dictatorial rule.
.....
[Delegates] committed to work with all legitimate, independent and democratic trade unions in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan.
.....
Carrie Murphy from Glasgow Health branch emphasised the importance of helping with reconstruction.
"We need a sensible approach to the rebuilding of Iraq," she said. "It must be on Iraqi terms for the good of the Iraqi people so let us support the planned withdrawal of troops."
