In the mining industry in Canada, 1,300 members of two locals of the United Steelworkers (USW) began a strike 19 July in Trail, British Columbia, against Vancouver-based Teck Cominco Ltd. Workers are seeking to re-gain wage and pension ground given to the company when it was in financial trouble in the 1990s. Teck Cominco operates a refinery for zinc, lead and other metals in Trail. The mine and processing plant provides 3% of the world&rsquo;s zinc production. The company declared force majeure on all metal and chemical products sales due to the strike. Meanwhile, in the southwestern US, 1,550 USW members continue strikes in two states that began 2 July and 6 July that has crippled cooper production of Asarco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo Mexico.

Bargaining in Germany&rsquo;s paper industry for 45,000 workers has broken down over employers&rsquo; resistance to compromise. ICEM affiliate IGBCE said it was the first time in a decade that the union and paper companies have not reached a compromise, and the union will not evade a confrontation if conciliation now fails. IGBCE Governing Board Member Werner Bischoff expressed great disappointment at the employers&rsquo; unwillingness to seek a compromise. Paper companies stubbornly held to a single payment of &euro;150 per worker for the first eight months of a new collective agreement, and then a 2% increase with a length-of-term proposal for 20 months. IGBCE finds that proposal unacceptable. The two sides will now go to conciliation in which equal numbers of worker representatives and employers will negotiate.

ICEM white-collar affiliate PENGASSAN in Nigeria is calling for complete transparency and full accountability in the acquisition by state Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. (NNPC) of African Petroleum (AP). PENGASSAN is standing with workers of AP who now face uncertain futures at the hands of NNPC following the official 6 July take-over of debt-ridden AP. The companies have not agreed to terms and even a panel of inquiry set up by the government to ascertain debt level cannot reach a decision on the matter. PENGASSAN believes it is wrong for NNPC to acquire AP before due process and an investigation into AP&rsquo;s indebtedness happens. PENGASSAN President Uche Okoro stated that NNPC should take &ldquo;a more civilized approach to recover the debt and not wake up one morning and take over AP or stop if from doing business. That will have a lot of impact on our workers of AP and we are not comfortable with that.&rdquo;

PENGASSAN Demands Transparency in NNPC&#039;s Buy-up

In Baghdad, the Iraq Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) has formed workers&rsquo; committee inside affiliate Electricity and Energy Workers Union to better the conditions of employees at the city&rsquo;s Main Water Agency. The campaign aims to secure interest-free payments to workers, deal with administrative and financial corruption inside the agency, get unpaid holiday pay for workers, and make it easier for them to collect pay checks. Currently, Water Agency workers must pass through arduous security and administrative delays at banks in order to receive their pay. The Electricity and Energy Workers Union has won reinstatement for scores of cleaning workers who had been sacked at the Main Water Agency.

In Iraq, oil workers in Basra at the Southern Oil Co. brought the company to a 24-hour standstill on 17 July with a strike. Some 15,000 workers took part in the strike that was intended to force the company and Iraq&rsquo;s Oil Ministry to take a portion of Southern Oil&rsquo;s vast profits and use it to build Basra&rsquo;s local economy. Backed by the General Union of Oil Employees (GUOE) and the Federation of Workers&rsquo; Councils and Unions in Iraq, last week&rsquo;s work stoppage could be a precursor to a general strike in Iraq&rsquo;s south if allocations from the country&rsquo;s largest crude oil producer are not used for basic infrastructure needs such as sewage systems, electrical grids and medical services. GUOE is also seeking a wage increase for workers, land allowances, and risk payments, something that Southern Oil&rsquo;s managers already receive.

A mass rally and march will occur next month in Botswana over the government&rsquo;s failure to intervene in the dismissal of 461 workers last year at diamond-mining enterprise Debswana. The Botswana Federation of Trade Unions is conducting the strike, and it is also a protest by the country&rsquo;s unions against Debswana&rsquo;s refusal to recognise new leadership of ICEM affiliate Botswana Mining Workers&rsquo; Union. Trade unions are seeking a re-work of employer-favoured labour legislation passed in May 2004, legislation which Debswana&mdash;a joint venture between DeBeers and the government&mdash;used to sack the 461 for striking illegally.

The three-month-long dispute between 750 New Zealand miners, members of ICEM affiliate Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union (EPMU), and state-run Solid Energy ended 19 July with a negotiated settlement. The union won a 5% wage increase for year 2005, plus 2% cash payment in 2006. In addition, EPMU won pay parity for miners in underground and open pit mines on both New Zealand&rsquo;s North and South Islands. Workers at some mines will get an additional 3% next year, others will receive 2%, and miners at two of those coal mines will receive an extra 1.5% wage boost at the end of the two-year agreement in 2007. &ldquo;This agreement sees another significant group of workers win a 5% pay rise, as well as re-establishing a national industrial agreement,&rdquo; stated EPMU National Secretary Andrew Little. He added that it was &ldquo;a milestone for the mining industry.&rdquo; Since EPMU launched its &ldquo;Five in &lsquo;05&rdquo; campaign in February, the union has negotiated 5% first-year wage settlements in 219 of 245 labour agreements negotiated across several different sectors.

According to UNAIDS, more than 33 million people are living with HIV/AIDS. In 2008 alone, 2 million people died worldwide of AIDS, 2.7 million more were newly infected with HIV. The high death rates have turned the clock back reversing decades of development gains. The UN Millennium Goals look ever more unachievable. 
 
Medical science has advanced dramatically since HIV/AIDS was first discovered 30 years ago. The appropriate use of the right antiretroviral drugs (ARV) can give an infected person a high quality of life for many years. But too few people have access to life-saving drugs. Although the percentage of those needing ARV treatment who actually receive it rose from 7 percent in 2003 to 42 percent in 2008 or 4 million, about 5 million people are still not receiving it. 
 
The vast majority of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are engaged in productive activity. HIV/AIDS is a union issue. Unions have workplace access and roots in the community; they fight discrimination, victimisation and stigma. Unions can build on the trust of workers; their capacity to negotiate agreements with companies is important in securing non-discrimination, non-victimisation, voluntary counselling and testing and anti-retroviral treatment. 
 
Women are particularly hard hit by the pandemic. Inequalities and dependency expose them to partner infidelity and sexual violence. Yet they are more aware of HIV/AIDS issues and have a vital role as carers of families, children and PLWHA. 
 
The ICEM covers sectors which are hardest hit by the pandemic such as mining because of the working and living conditions of miners. It also organises workers in the pharmaceutical industry. The ICEM and its affiliates are strategically positioned to play an important role in the fight against HIV/AIDS. 
 
Global Framework Agreements (GFA) are an invaluable tool for national affiliates to hold Multinational Companies (MNCs) responsible for what has been agreed at global level. Therefore an HIV/AIDS clause based on the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the world of work should be included in GFAs. The ICEM and its affiliates also seek agreement with key MNCs on the provision of voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) and treatment with effective and affordable drugs. It advocates the expansion of medical services to dependents and to the wider community. 
 
The ICEM supports the call to the international community for a long-term commitment to massively increase funding to provide protection and treatment. 
ICEM HIV/AIDS Project
The project started with a workshop for sub-Saharan African countries in November 2004. From 2005 to 2009 it was sponsored by the LO/TCO Secretariat of Sweden and FNV Mondiaal of the Netherlands with support from the Swedish and Dutch ICEM affiliates. The present project cycle from 2010 to 2012 is sponsored by SASK Finland and FNV Mondiaal. 
 
Achievements 
 
At the global level, an information policy is in place. The ICEM HIV/AIDS e-bulletin has been published monthly since October 2005 and the ICEM web pages on HIV/AIDS are being updated. Affiliates are given guidance on World AIDS Day campaigns. Two manuals on collective bargaining and resources were published. Working relations are established with ILO/AIDS, UNAIDS, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the World Bank/International Finance Corporation and other organisations such as the World AIDS Campaign and the Global Business Coalition. 
 
The ICEM has lobbied hard for ILO HIV/AIDS Guidelines for the mining sector, which have yet to be adopted. An HIV/AIDS clause based on the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the world of work has been included in some ICEM Global Framework Agreements. The ICEM cooperates with the Global Union AIDS Programme. The wider impact of ICEM&rsquo;s HIV/AIDS work is demonstrated by the increasing recognition it receives. In terms of fundraising for sustainability, the ICEM has had some success (see projects below). 
 
An HIV/AIDS Consultant, based in Geneva, looks after the global aspects of the project. He is also in charge of additional projects which are listed below. 
 
At the regional level, national coordinators have been trained in five regional workshops which covered a wide range of topics. In 2008, missions to all project countries and three sub-regional workshops for Southern and East Africa, Anglophone West Africa and Francophone West Africa assessed the progress in the HIV/AIDS project and laid the basis for future activities. 
 
At national level, coordinating committees were established. In cooperation with national coordinators, they have elaborated annual projects which concentrated on peer education and advocacy for voluntary counselling and testing (VCT). Training of VCT counsellors was implemented in 2007 in four African countries with a grant from a major US pharmaceutical company. Pilot co-investment projects were discussed with major mining companies in Ghana and Namibia. Still lagging behind are negotiations on HIV/AIDS workplace policies and protective clauses in collective bargaining agreements. In 2009, most participating countries produced their own HIV/AIDS leaflets and other materials. 
 
The project in Africa is run by a Project Manager based in Johannesburg with the assistance of a coordinator for Francophone Africa, based in Abidjan. 
 
Additional Projects 
 
The ICEM managed to widen the scope of its HIV/AIDS work with additional funding from ICEM affiliates, solidarity support organisations and corporate partnership. 
 
The Danish LO/FTF supports a project on HIV/AIDS and the mining sector in Ethiopia, which runs until 2011. Major outcomes of this project in 2009 include an HIV/AIDS policy for the ICEM-affiliated National Industrial Federation of Energy, Chemical and Mine Trade Unions, the draft of an HIV/AIDS workplace policy as well as the production of materials for a toolkit for peer educators. 
 
The Humanity Fund of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers&rsquo; Union of Canada (CEP) co-sponsored a project in Nigeria together with the ICEM HIV/AIDS Project and the Nigerian affiliates NUPENG and PENGASSAN. The training of unionists as peer educators/lay counsellors led to a massive uptake of VCT among workers, their dependents and members of the community. An application for an extension of this project is pending. 
 
The CEP also made funds available for an HIV/AIDS project in Trinidad and Tobago in 2009 and 2010 in cooperation with the Oilfield Workers&rsquo; Trade Union. 
 
Collection of funds by the Women&rsquo;s Department of the German affiliate IG BCE enabled affiliates in Tanzania in 2009 to focus on gender issues and a large VCT campaign, which will be continued in 2010. 
 
Affiliates in Japan and Taiwan contributed to a programme in Mongolia in 2009. 
 
Discussions are underway with the Norwegian affiliate Industri Energi for a project in Jordan. 
 
The German pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim sponsored a large HIV/AIDS project in India in 2008 and 2009. With the technical assistance from the ILO Office in Delhi, master trainers were trained who in turn prepared peer educators for their awareness and prevention work at workplaces and in villages. The project also adapted ILO material, such as manuals, leaflets and posters for training purposes and mass distribution.

Collective Bargaining Workshop on &lsquo;Fighting for our rights&rsquo;: Right to information, right not to suffer discrimination, right to treatment and care 
 
The ICEM AFRICA HIV/AIDS Project held its second National Workshop in Johannesburg in November 2005. 
 
Previous workshops had shown that we need to use our collective bargaining skills to prevent the spread of the epidemic, to defend our members&rsquo; rights at the workplace and to ensure that workers, their families and communities have access to treatment, support and care. 
 
Ten countries participated in the workshop and exchanged experiences in taking up HIV/AIDS issues at the workplace. Trade unionists identified key issues to assist negotiators in taking forward these issues at all levels: from the local workplace to the company, sector, national, regional and international levels. 
 
The workshop noted that discrimination, stigmatisation and lack of job security led to some workers not wanting to know their status. Greater awareness and knowledge about the epidemic and its treatment is essential to create an environment where more and more workers participate in voluntary counselling and testing. 
The workshop concluded that, in order to be successful, prevention strategies had to go hand in hand with treatment, including ART (Antiretroviral treatment). Another conclusion was that our policies and collective bargaining agreements have to ensure that workers&rsquo; human rights are safeguarded and strengthened. 
 
 
UNICEF/UNAIDS and Children 
&ldquo;The face of AIDS now is becoming the face of a child&rdquo; 
 
Participants at the ICEM AFRICA HIV/AIDS workshops have consistently raised concerns about the welfare of children either orphaned or infected with HIV/AIDS. UNICEF and UNAIDS have now launched a campaign focusing on the plight of children. A recent study by UNICEF highlights these difficulties for children, in particular in sub-Saharan Africa. 
 
The study reveals that girls are 5 to 6 times more likely to contract the disease than boys. Also, less than 5% of HIV positive children have access to life preserving drugs. Most children get HIV/AIDS through mother to child transmission (MTCT). The majority of child deaths from AIDS occurs in sub-Saharan Africa: 450,000 of the 510,000 children who died in 2004. HIV/AIDS is made worse by poverty &ndash; in high income countries less than 300 children died in 2004. 
 
One of the most pressing problems is that the needs of children are not highlighted in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. In addition, antiretroviral drugs for children cost 4 to 8 times as much as those for adults. Getting the right drugs and administering the correct dose is difficult with children. 
 
Children do sometimes not even receive cheaper medications that can save lives (such as antibacterial agents which prevent infections like pneumonia), even though this could halve the number of children dying from AIDS-related diseases.

UNAIDS/WHO: Global Number of PLWHA Continues to Rise 
 
Despite decreases in the rate of infection in certain countries, the overall number of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has continued to rise in all regions of the world except the Caribbean. There are an additional five million new infections in 2005. The number globally has reached its highest level as a result, going up to an estimated 40.3 million people. More than three million people died of AIDS-related illnesses in 2005; of these, over 500,000 were children. 
 
These latest findings were published in AIDS Epidemic Update 2005, the joint report of UNAIDS and the WHO, which was released on 21 November 2005. According to the report, the steepest increases in HIV infections have occurred in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (a 2003 to 2005 increase of 33% from 1.2 to 1.6 million people) and in East Asia (20% increase to 870,000). Sub-Saharan Africa continues to be the most affected globally &ndash; with 64% of new infections (over three million people) occurring here. 
 
The report stresses that the changes in people&rsquo;s behaviour to prevent infection - such as an increased use of condoms, the delaying of the first sexual experience and having fewer sexual partners &ndash; have played a key part in the decline of infections in some countries. 
The 2005 report emphasises that a comprehensive response to HIV and AIDS requires the simultaneous acceleration of treatment and prevention efforts, with the ultimate goal of universal access to prevention, treatment and care.

&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll keep on Fighting&rdquo; - Ugandan Woman Gets Human Rights Award 
 
Beatrice Were was honoured by Human Rights Watch with the Human Rights Defender Award for her campaign to help women like herself who carry HIV and the often heavy stigma that comes with it. 
 
Uganda was once hailed as a model for Africa because of its approach to fighting HIV/AIDS. There used to be an aggressive campaign, led by political, religious and community leaders, credited with significantly lowering the infection rate. But experts fear that those gains could be lost because of what they see as an increasing emphasis on abstinence, encouraged in part by the United States, a major donor. 
 
&ldquo;Political leaders and religious people are now campaigning against the use of condoms and preach abstinence as if AIDS was a moral and not a health issue&rdquo;, said Were. Were discovered she was HIV-positive in 1991 when she was 37 years old. Her husband had died of AIDS in the early 1980s. In 1995, she founded the national community of women living with HIV and AIDS, which has grown to 40,000 members today. 
 
 
Madagascan Mine Brings AIDS Threat 
 
QMM, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, the world&rsquo;s largest international mining company, has responded to environmental concerns around the ilmenite (a mineral) mine, which it is building in the south of Madagascar. With many problems already solved, one problem remains, towering over the others: the threat of HIV/AIDS. 
 
So far the country has a low rate of infection, estimated at under 2%. But QMM has to bring in specialised workers from abroad, most likely from Rio Tinto&rsquo;s old ilmenite mine in Richard&rsquo;s Bay in South Africa, where the rate of HIV infection is almost ten times as high. The mining area and the community surrounding it have been made a priority zone for the national HIV/AIDS plan to prevent it from becoming a Trojan horse for the disease.

ICEM HIV/AIDS e-bulletin - No. 3

An ICEM-led network of Caspian and European trade unions, meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan, on 28-29 November, united forces with the Oil and Gas Industry Workers Trade Union of Azerbaijan (AOGWU) to force Caspian Sea contractor McDermott International to pay fair and equal wages to local workers. 
<hr />

The Russian version of this ICEM news release can be found <a href="/index.php?id=77&amp;doc=1537&amp;la=RU">here</a>.
<hr />
The network of trade unions was meeting in the Azerbaijan capital in the midst of a bitter strike by AOGWU that saw workers occupy an offshore oil installation of McDermott, a major US-based global construction company for the oil industry. The two-day meeting, hosted by AOGWU, was dominated by the dispute.
Direct pressure from the meeting on Caspian management of McDermott, which is under contract to BP and Azerbaijan state oil company SOCAR, helped win for the 2,000 workers a historic labour agreement, the first with a western multinational oil sector contractor in the Caspian Region. 
<img height="99" alt="" src="" width="200" />
&ldquo;It is a historical day for our trade union,&rdquo; said AOGWU Chairman Jahangir Aliyev. &ldquo;We proved that it is possible to set a standard. We struck and delivered a result.&rdquo; 
 
McDermott workers, organized by AOGWU, launched various industrial actions and, on 22 November, briefly took control of a McDermott marine facility with news reporters present. Six days later they then brought the dispute, important for organized labour in this strategic oil and gas producing region, to the Caspian Sea Energy Union Leaders&rsquo; Network in Baku. 
 
The standoff, which centered on pay and benefit disparity, ended yesterday and McDermott agreed to wage terms and formal recognition of AOGWU. Workers were demanding salary parity with foreign workers brought to the region by McDermott. Some of these workers earn 50% more than Azeri workers, and receive better medical and other benefits. 
 
AOGWU won a labour agreement with excellent gains, including a significant salary raise, effective 1 December 2005. Workers will also receive an extra month&rsquo;s bonus pay. Additionally, they will receive another sizeable pay increase on 30 January 2006. Medical insurance was also secured for the 2,000 workers, and a joint commission between the union and employers will be established over the issue of foreign workers in Caspian oilfields. 
 
AOGWU announced it will use the Caspian Sea Energy Union Leaders&rsquo; Network to launch an internal working group to monitor the labour practices of multinational companies in the region&rsquo;s oil and gas industries. 
 
&ldquo;The presence of the seminar had a big influence on this particular outcome,&rdquo; added Jahangir Aliyev. &ldquo;When I met with the workers, I told them they had the backing of the ICEM and were supported by trade unions from all over the world.&rdquo; 
 
Chairing the Caspian&rsquo;s Union Leaders&rsquo; forum was Lars Myhre from oil workers&rsquo; union NOPEF in Norway. Myhre, who heads ICEM&rsquo;s Energy Industries Sector, stated, &ldquo;This labour agreement gives us inspiration and concrete evidence to the importance of trade unionism in the Caspian Region.&rdquo; 
 
Unions participating in the ICEM&rsquo;s Caspian Sea Energy Union Leaders&rsquo; Network included: AOGWU; Energy and Electrotechnical Industry Workers&rsquo; Trade Union, Azerbaijan; Russian, Oil, Gas and Construction Workers Trade Union (ROGWU), Russia; Energy and Electronical Industry Workers Trade Union, Georgia; and the Petroleum, Chemical, Rubber Workers&rsquo; Trade Union (Petrol-Is), Turkey.
