LABOR UNION RESURRECTED IN KABUL
After a hiatus of 15 years, the National Union Employees of Afghanistan
(NUEA) held a nationwide congress in Kabul on 1 April to examine its
legal status and organizational structure, Radio Afghanistan reported.
The NUEA was first established in 1964, but during the Afghan war of
liberation and civil war most of its offices were seized by government
organizations and it lost influence. During the conference, Abdul Hamid
Mobarez, the deputy minister of information and culture in charge of
broadcasting and publication, said the reemergence of organizations such
as the NUEA will facilitate the process of democratization in
Afghanistan. In an election held at the end of the meeting under the
supervision of the International Labor Organization, Mohammad Qasem
Hasas was elected chairman of the NUEA. AT
