No blood for oil!
The American and British imperialist invasion of Iraq has roused mass opposition from ordinary working people throughout the world. In many countries, the labour movement has been in the forefront of the opposition to the move towards war. Through our links with LabourStart, we can bring information on the trade union reaction throughout the world.

International links
The NUGFW has re-established its internatinal links by affiliating to two important international trade secretariats:

Firstly, the Public Services International which unites public sector workers in more than 500 trade unions in over 140 countries. Twenty million women and men in a variety of public service jobs are members of PSI.

For more than 90 years, PSI has fought for public services through its activities and campaigns, its regional structure, its association with other international organisations and its work on priority issues. PSI is an officially recognised non-government organisation - NGO - for the public sector within the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and has accreditation with UNESCO, ECOSOC and UNCTAD.

And then there is the   International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers' Associations (IUF)   - a world-wide federation of trade unions representing workers employed in:

  • agriculture and plantations

  • the preparation and manufacture of food and beverages

  • all stages of tobacco processing

  • hotels, restaurants catering services and the tourism industry

Representing 326 organisations in 118 countries with 10 million workers this link will help us in looking after our Hi-Lo and Carib members.


Health & Safety
This section of the NUGFW web page has been dramtically updated with a wealth of useful links on Health & Safety. In addition, we now have a special page devoted to the issue of HIV/AIDS.


Bargaining Update
As the NUGFW continues to represent its members so we will be updating the information on the current situation in our bargaining units. Information on all the current bargaining units have now beenupdated.


Workers Education
Our new section on workers education highlights the International Federation of Workers Education Associations (IFWEA) and its innovative work with International Study Circles. Check here for more information.
