Another comrade involved in the project was Steve Myers, who can be contacted at: SMye5-AT-aol.com. Workers' Aid was an interesting experiment in a class approach to the Balkans as an alternative to imperialist intervention; however, WA had its staunch opponents on the Left here, but I won't go into that. They made contact with Bosnian, Kosovar and Serbian trade unionists throughout the Yugoslav wars. One of the most notable groups of working class people they were in contact with were the Kosovan Albanian Trepca miners, whom made the last organised defence of Yugoslavia against the Milosevic counter-revolution in 1988. Recently, when NATO troops attempted to enforce Milosevic's sell-off of the complex to French and Italian businessmen, they staged a hunger strike and put forward a call for international solidarity centred around certain demand - workers' self-management, and suchlike. Hope that is of help. in solidarity, Owen > Try Owen Jones, here, > <owen_jones-AT-cwcom.net> > he knows the folks that organized the tour.
