Solidarity with Ukraine’s workers

1. ? Ukrainian was unprovoked war? Democratic and free? Not one mention of corruption that gutted out there steel fabrication industries or plain and train building facilities and yet talking about Unions and labourers???? I'm sure this was to show how one sided the narrative of the western so called democracies has become. Killing 90% of all independently owned businesses with the lockdowns and mandates. Inflation because of over spending, paying the government, civic employees a big pay increase, bigger spending from the public purse while forcing people out of work. I'm sure others will have plenty to add to my list

2. very important debate with the only fair and sane position one can have – the working class has a right to defend itself, this war is a war of conquest by Russia, the Ukrainian people are trying to liberate themselves from historical opression. Slava Ukraini!

3. All solidarity, with class independence, to the Ukrainian resistance against Putin's aggression.

4. Jesus Christ. Is there a limit to the length you people will go to appease Russia?

5. Zelensky eliminated worker rights. He's 100% captured by wall street and american/western corporate interests

6. This whole comment section is FULL of RU trolls/bots. Don't mind about them.

7. Stooges for shock therapy neoliberal economics, and a militarist 'Project for the New American Century'/'Wolfowitz doctrine' foreign policy agenda.

8. At first the Maidan coup 2014 should be recognized, then there should follow a free and fair election.
   This war could have been avoided. There was a Minsk agreement in place and peacetalks were stopped.
   So, please don't talk bull**it. 🤷🏻

9. "Ahead of the war"!? You guys were hosting that Idoit Ritter 7 months ago.

10. I can't wait to see how trash Bill's argument will be…

11. No wonder the trade Union in the west have failed. I thought you would know Ukraine has sold its mines & farms to Blackrock & other corporations. Ukraine will be paid slaves wages. What about workers in the Donbass? They don’t exist?
    Russia will get back that farmland & mines Zelensky sold. So grow up, you’re totally blind.

12. Is Bill Fletcher working for NED or some other security state funded outfit?

13. Solidarity with Ukrainian workers means they have the right to choose not to be soldiers in this war! If Ukraine's defense is really patriotic they should form a different political system in which there are no privileged, rich people and poor workers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

14. With billions of American tax dollars being sent to Ukraine, do Ukrainians even have to work? FOH. Stop extorting American citizens in this worldwide pyramid scheme.

15. You people don’t want peace. This war was provoked and could have been prevented by USA, Nato and zalensky. Innocent Ukrainians are getting killed in the middle of the crisis. Billions of our taxpayers are not going to help Ukrainians but money is being funneled to help the Nazis and made zelensky richer and the rest of the corrupt politicians. Ukraine will lose the war, make peace but USA government won’t let zelensky make peace. USA and nato are fighting Russiaa in Ukraine and using Ukrainians as bait.

16. An “unprovoked” war?

    My take is: If the US stops fighting, there will be no more war. If Russia stops fighting, there will be no more Russia!

17. I'm a union worker and I cannot understand how these three union leaders do not want peace but for the war to continue. They have to know that the Ukrainian working class are the only ones being sent to fight while all the oligarchs children and the children of Ukraine's politicians are not fighting. Everyday in the srreets of Ukraine the military is rounding up and essentially kidnapped working class Ukrainians off the streets, sometimes snatching them from their vehicles, beating them sometimes uncocious and throwing them into vans and druven off. The former Defense Minister Reznikov was recently fired for corruption and instead of being thrown in prison, he was made the embassador to the UK. He has prior military experience having served in the Soviet Air Force. Why isn't he being sent to the front? Same with Kolomoyski who handled Zelensky? It's only working class Slavs being sent to the slaughter and these unionists condone this.

    What shocks me is the Brazilian unionist wanting to send everything. Ukraine is already getting depleted uranium munitions and this is going to make Ukraine a toxic waste land far worse than Fallujah, Iraq. One would think that as A unionist there would be outcry from these three but no. Ukraines farmland will be destroyed as well as farmers.

    Ukraine is losing badly, generations of working class are being killed and the Ukrainian government is trying to find a legal way to extradite the hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians that fled to European countries in order not to fight.

    This war is over and needs to end now.

18. I wonder if workers would rather live in peace. Regardless of weather they pay tax to Ukraine or Russia.

19. Sue for peace…Stop the making of WWIII !

20. Zelensky regime is currently trying to abduct the Ukrainian refugees who have no will to fight for their corrupted state. Protect them from the deportation to Ukraine.
    There’re also people who want to defect from Ukraine. Let’s establish some underground railroad organizations and help their escape if you are self-sacrificial and able to accept the risk of being killed by SBU.

    As above will be the only two acts the foreign Labour orgs can do

21. I heard there’re some anti-Maidan regime partisans or underground(Thus of course illegalized by the Kiev government) organizations in Ukraine, but aside from that, perhaps there’s no labour organization which isn’t under the supervise of Ukrainian SBU

22. Kudos to Bill Fletcher standing up to the pro Putin left

23. 3:50 she says herself war started in 2014, but then she says that russian strikes kill workers, like no workers in Donetsk were killed in that 8 years prior to invasion or since then on a regular basis
