Construction Workers' Union Yilmaz, Remzi and Thompson in Kobani'yi with Leo about 3 
months of resistance in the building after victories together, we conducted an interview 
about the calls they made ​​for the reconstruction of streets and the life. ---- Square: 
Such an idea, Construction Workers Union Where did you come to mind? What was the thing 
that pushes you to make this call? ---- Thompson: Isidor hand against a gang, which had a 
population of resistance and the ruins of the war conducted by a collective way of life. 
We are also in the Construction Workers' Union, through these ruins, religion, language, 
regardless of creed and color, we have received the knowledge of the start of the process 
of building a new life. In this case, we can not be neutral, we have to side. Poor 
peoples; Isidor that the gang looted, destroyed it, strive to maintain a communal life in 
the land desolate meat that, we have come to live in this saying we should put a brick 
path. Live on, about to share, we want to get our effort of solidarity. With this in mind, 
we make our call.

Ramzi: the size of a fascist attack on Kobanê'y. As Isidor thug, cutting head, the face of 
a power burning people alive; people so much deprivation, despite the lack of weapons that 
are resisting their own, gave us such a determination. Allows us to take action.

In Kobani'yi, under international framework has been an insurgency. Construction-in 
business, we also think that should continue in the same way in the process of 
construction of this solidarity. The people living in this region and we live in 
Kurdistan, we have made ​​a call to the union construction workers in Europe. We want this 
to be an international construction process, obviously. Has established a Kurdish region 
in the south before. Subcontracting system and the construction was done with 
extraordinary support of capitalists and workers' rights in the process he was robbed. We 
as a union, we do not want to live in such things Kobani'yi.

How to handle this "you put a brick in" process? When to go to for how long?

Ramzi: First team, before we plan to go to Urfa. After responding to a petition to the 
Governor's Office last summer we went to 3 people. Discuss how the reconstruction process 
and will receive the delegation in Kobani'yi will begin when information. He returned with 
this information, we will expand further our call. In the first stage, a group of 20 
people, we are planning to go to 10 days.

Construction set up a Coordination Unit in Kobani'yi people come in this way to make it 
work studies, we will try to produce projects. Any sub-contracting by this method will be 
passed before the attack on the area of ​​large companies.

Thompson: Maybe we do not have the opportunity to work there as a construction and power 
to build from start to finish. As well as economic, as well as strong organizational who 
are not in a union confederation, we have a new labor union. However, to establish a 
collective living space, there are measures to be taken. Such as sub-contracting and 
annuity choke. Because Toki Toki and scrap are the future to occupy areas. If strong, if 
carried out work in a revolutionary character, in front of one of their barricades can be 
established.

According to several months we have left behind after losing the warmth of the war, they 
returned to the middle Kobanê'y the face of the capitalists. So, does the fact that the 
union needs to be done.

Thompson: I will try to do what is done. As we said, we do not have the financial strength 
to build Kobanê'y from start to finish. But this project we have created in our minds, 
there is for the future of the people who fought against the occupation, we will present 
to the finest detail.

We understand that the construction work, though a union composed of workers not only 
struggle against the injustice of the workers, not?

Thompson: Of course, our main objective is first is obvious. The unity of the workers of 
our call, on behalf of the brotherhood of peoples "in the labor you put a brick to build 
the bridge" as we do. Here we are in such a yearning to build the brotherhood of peoples. 
I hope we put a brick for it.

Is there anything you want to add?

Ramzi: great powers and capitalists as you said in your eyes Kobanê'y upright state. This 
can only be a common resistance against the line can get. We hope this call, there is also 
money and we all found it a life spent together.

Thompson: Semi-open, half-full living, construction workers imposed by the disorganization 
of desperation is going to Kobanê'y. Although we know the challenges of these workers take 
you there, ourselves as a union with fewer opportunities as our duty to, we decided to 
perform a revolutionary responsibility.
