An Industrial Workers of the World delegation has just returned from Haiti where we spent twelve days meeting with representatives of the Confederation des Travailleurs Haïtiens (Haitian Confederation of Workers) and other worker and peasant movements. Three American IWW members: Joseph Lapp, Nathaniel Miller, Justin Vitiello, and one Canadian, Cody Anderson were invited to Haiti by the CTH to document the Haitians' struggle against "le plan neoliberal." Justin and Nathaniel are both from Philly, Joseph is from Alaska, but a former resident of Philly, and Cody is from Alberta.

We kept a detailed blog and are making a video from the trip. There will be organized report backs with photos and video in June. Those interested in learning more about the trip, or how they can help the Haitians' struggle should contact nathaniel@iww.org
