MEDIA STATEMENT:
MUA’S POSITION ON THE 9/11
TRAGEDY
The MUA's policy on the attacks of September 11, 2001 is unambiguous.
The 9/11 tragedy was a result of a terrorist attack by international terrorists who claimed
responsibility.
It is the MUA’s position – one that I passionately support as National Secretary – that this
attack is one of the greatest affronts and abuses of human and civil rights in contemporary
history.
During the intensely sad aftermath of this devastating event, the MUA formally determined to
extend our deepest sympathies and support to those American citizens – the thousands of
workers who lost their lives – and others affected by the tragedy.
This is the MUA’s and the ITF's formal and long standing position. Any other view, by any
member of the MUA is an individual or personal view and not that of the organisation.
