IMF CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING 

Austria Centre - Hall F 


Saturday, 21 May 2005 

ITEM 1: Opening of Meeting by IMF President Jurgen Peters 

The Central Committee of the International Metalworkers' Federation, held in Hall F 

of the Austria Centre Vienna convened at 9:00 a.m., IMF President JURGEN 

PETERS presiding. 

President PETERS issued a warm welcome to the Central Committee members to 

Vienna, and summarized the main focus of the ensuing 31 st IMF World Congress, the 

theme of which was "Advancing Workers' Rights.” First of all, the IMF Action 

Programme was designed to coordinate strategies to improve the living and working 

conditions of workers, and in so doing provide a human face to the growing trend of 

globalization. Decisions taken during the Congress would set the course for specific 

tasks to accomplish this goal, recognizing the social, economic and political situation 

of the different regions around the world. 

The second focus of the discussion involved changes in the IMF rules, beginning with 

the structure of affiliation dues. These proposed changes had evolved due to the fact 

that affiliates which were not as financially strong as others needed and deserved an 

equal voice in matters concerning IMF policies and decisions. The second change in 

the rules concerned the addition of six women as members of the Executive 

Committee. Such change would not only grant a more fair representation of women 

relative to IMF membership, but would also facilitate mobilization and activism among 

women workers in the different regions. 

The continuing debate on the effects of globalization on the world economy was the 

basis upon which the Action Programme 2006-2009 was designed and implemented 

by the IMF as a whole. It set out the activities of the IMF in its efforts to make 

globalization more socially oriented and more equitable. New technology made it 

possible for information to jump from continent to continent in a fraction of a second. 

Multinational corporations had a network of locations spanning the entire globe. 

Investments and corporate planning had increasingly become cross-border activities. 

Company turnover in many cases exceeded the PIB of medium-sized industrialized 

countries, while at the same time an explosion of currency and financial markets was 

taking place which had the potential of destroying entire economies. 

At the same time, Peters was of the opinion that in theory globalization could become 

the basis for more prosperity and a better quality of life as well as an understanding 

between peoples. However, in reality globalization had caused just the opposite. 

Therefore, if the IMF wanted to play a role in shaping the future, then it must take the 

lead in demanding that governments and world institutions pursue more democratic 

- 1 -

and more just policies, i.e., material prosperity, social security and equal 

opportunities should be distributed among the members of society in a more fair 

manner; all citizens must have the right to participate in and enjoy life; and, in the 

quest for a future-oriented society, natural resources and other world assets must be 

preserved. 

The Action Programme was a document which defined the term "socially-regulated 

globalization" as it related to the IMF's mission, and constituted an excellent 

foundation for its work. "More than ever, workers must raise a unified voice and 

denounce the violation of human rights and the exploitation of workers taking place, 

particularly in the developing world," Peters said. The activities described within the 

Action Programme were designed to draw attention to the consequences of 

globalization, such as the growing gap between the rich and the poor. Without 

wishing to anticipate the debate, Peters touched on some of the central points to be 

discussed during the Congress. 

* The need for an economic and financial policy geared to developing 

employment and creating new jobs; 

* A regulation of capital flows and the reform of global financial and 

economic institutions; 

* An active labor market policy by governments with the goal of reducing 

unemployment and increasing purchasing power; 

* Reform of the rules within the World Trade Organization which took into 

account the interests of all countries, not just the interests of the rich 

companies and multinational companies; 

* Debt forgiveness for the poorest countries and an increase in development 

aid; 

* The incorporation of core labor standards in world trade agreements; 

* The strict implementation of International Framework Agreements with 

MNCs to assure secure social standards, health and safety; and 

* A system of worldwide information exchange between trade unions, 

particularly those operating within MNCs. 

"We have to pool our forces," Peters said, "in order to confront unbridled capitalism 

and achieve a more safe and just world." The idea of globalization in and of itself 

was not the enemy, but in order to ensure that all regions of the world were the 

beneficiaries of globalization, there had to be a move away from the neoliberal forces 

which were currently driving globalization. He included the World Bank, the 

International Monetary Fund, the WTO and the G-8 group in that category, but it also 

applied to the attitude of the European Union regarding agricultural policy. Such 

institutions needed to adopt a new political approach wherein the task of policymaking 

was not to create optimal conditions for short-term profitability for 

international companies, but instead was to promote social integration of individuals 

and societies into the world community. 

"Economic action should be made subservient to the needs of man and not the other 

way around," President Peters declared, and the debate during Congress would be 

- 2 -

geared to that end. The meeting of the Central Committee was thereupon officially 

opened. 

ITEM 2: Approval of Proposed Agenda 

There being no comments or suggestions, the Proposed Agenda was approved. 

ITEM 3: Approval of the Minutes of the Central Committee Meeting - 

Cape Town, South Africa, December 3-4, 2003 

There being no additions, clarifications or amendments, the Minutes of the Central 

Committee meeting held in Cape Town, South Africa, December 3-4, 2003, were 

formally approved. 

ITEM 4: Expulsions 

The Executive Committee's unanimous recommendation of expulsion for four 

affiliates was presented to the Central Committee, the first of which was Automobile 

& Agricultural Machinery Workers' Union (AAM) of Belarus. The events leading up to 

that decision were explained in various documents attached to this agenda item. 

The decision to expel an affiliate from IMF membership was never easy. However, 

the numerous grounds upon which the decision was made were very serious and 

such action was called for. General Secretary MALENTACCHI reiterated that this 

subject had been discussed many times over the past two years. A Commission of 

Inquiry under the authority of the ILO had submitted a very comprehensive report and 

had followed up by imposing tough measures against the Belarus government in an 

attempt to exact radical and fundamental reforms in its labor laws to adopt and 

implement ILO standards. However, no changes had been made and the Executive 

Committee felt it had no choice but to recommend expulsion. 

Andrey FEFELOV (AFW - Russia) asked for a postponement of the decision until the 

next meeting of the Central Committee in light of the fact that V. Kuzmich, the current 

Chairman of the union, could not be in attendance and his views had not yet been 

heard. He asked that the Central Committee look at the merits of the case before 

taking action. 

President PETERS responded that the Executive had waited for over a year for the 

union to respond and prove its democratic status. That was more than sufficient 

time, and the Executive was obliged to follow its own rules. If the situation changed 

in the future, the Committee could always reconvene and take the matter up again. 

Aliaksandr BUKHVOSTAU, a member of the Executive Committee representing the 

newly-formed union REPAM, adamantly disagreed with the request for 

postponement on the basis that the AAM was proven to be in violation of IMF's basic 

statutes, namely the requirement that affiliates be democratic and independent 

unions. The 31 st IMF Congress dedicated to enhancing workers' rights was about to 

begin, even as workers in many countries were being denied their rights. In Belarus, 

- 3 -

workers were slaves of a manipulative government which was interfering in all 

aspects of trade union work in an attempt to destroy or, at the very least, control 

trade unions in Belarus. He compared the situation the Nazi dictatorship. 

As the former President of the AAM, Bukhvostau described the unfair and 

undemocratic voting process perpetrated by a totalitarian government which resulted 

in the virtual appointment of a new chairman "bought and paid for" by the 

government. Workers were now required to sign documents agreeing to terms of 

membership in the government-controlled union, otherwise they were threatened with 

layoffs. ILO conventions, though agreed to, were being ignored by the Belarus 

regime. He hoped that someday the union would be independent and democratic, 

but at the present time workers' rights were being denied and the IMF should stand 

firm in its decision to expel the organization from IMF affiliation in order to send a 

clear message. 

Alexander PANYCHEV (EWU-Russia) asked that a special IMF commission be 

formed to travel to Belarus and observe the situation instead of taking the word of 

other groups. Special circumstances existed which should be taken into 

consideration. The AAM had tried for ten years to instill democratic standards. It 

was true that the government was given a year to stop its interference and allow 

AAM to develop as a free trade union; however, the union itself was powerless to 

make or change laws. The trade unions should not be punished for the bad actions 

of their government. He again asked for a postponement on the decision for 

expulsion until the next Central Committee meeting when the IMF delegation had 

seen for itself the progress that the trade unions had made. 

Mikhail TARASSENKO (MMWU-Russia) commented briefly that the workers 

themselves may not be guilty, but the new union leadership was guilty of 

manipulating what should have been a free election. He wholeheartedly supported 

the decision of the Executive to expel the union from membership. 

President PETERS responded that it was not a question of guilt or innocence. The 

union was obviously moving in the wrong direction. The IMF had not taken the 

decision for expulsion lightly. On the contrary, it was a serious matter and been 

arrived at as a last resort because the IMF wanted to send a strong message to the 

workers and the organization that they were part of a union whose actions would not 

be tolerated. Such action would serve to encourage the workers to fight government 

intervention and enact changes within the union to bring about democracy and 

independence. 

Jan UHLIR (MFCR-Czech Republic) reminded the delegates that his country suffered 

a similar regime as Belarus. Any committee which might be sent to Belarus to 

investigate would not get a true picture of the situation but would be met by terrified, 

intimidated people who were not allowed to speak out against the government. Only 

by expulsion would these undemocratic groups be exposed for what they were. He 

very adamantly supported the recommendation. 

There being no further delegates wishing to speak, the recommendation for 

expulsion was put to a vote and was approved by large majority and only 8 

abstentions. A further recommendation for expulsion was presented for three other 

affiliates which were either no longer functioning or had not paid affiliation fees since 

- 4 -

2001. Those included the National Federation Technical Industry, Science 

Informatics of Bulgaria, the Federation of Mechanical Engineers & Stokers of 

Greece, and the Lebanese Metalworkers' Federation. Without objection, the 

recommendation for expulsion for these three affiliates was also approved. 

ITEM 5: Audit Reports 

Werner FUNK presented the report of the Internal Audit Committee for 2003-2004. 

The accounts and budget had been verified and the Committee recommended their 

approval. 

Over the last two years, the Auditors had examined the written statements of the 

External Auditors, Gerofid, and two points needed clarification. First of all, the 

Secretariat and the Auditors had analyzed the investment strategy and the new 

regulations concerning the day-to-day management of financial investments and 

reporting system. The Audit Committee recommended that they be approved and 

implemented quickly. 

Secondly, any potential risks associated with the approval, implementation and 

monitoring of special projects needed to be included, particularly when dealing with 

donor organizations. Instructions had been given for proper bookkeeping and 

reporting of such resources and initiatives were in the process of being implemented 

at the different Regional offices. The Auditors had outlined newly-defined processes 

which would improve IMF operations and accountability, and such recommendations 

would be implemented over the course of the ensuing year. The IMF auditors 

planned to devote more attention to the systematic bookkeeping procedures because 

some clarification had been requested by the External Auditors. 

Both the Finance Committee and the Executive Committee had recommended that 

the Audit Report be accepted and that the responsible bodies be discharged. There 

being no questions or comments, the reports were unanimously accepted. 

ITEM 6: Financial Report 

General Secretary MALENTACCHI presented the IMF Balance Sheet for 2003 and 

2004 which had been accepted by the Executive Committee. The corresponding 

documents were included in the delegate packets. There being no comments or 

requests for clarification, the Financial Report was accepted. 

ITEM 7: Designation: Assistant General Secretary 

President PETERS reported that a request by the Japanese delegation to establish 

an additional position on the Executive Committee, i.e., an Assistant General 

Secretary, had been received and discussed. The Japanese colleagues also 

suggested that the post be filled by Hiroshi Kamada. The Executive Committee, at 

its meeting the day before, voted unanimously in favor of the proposal. Brother 

Kamada, a 30-year veteran of the IMF bureau, was heartily congratulated for his 

- 5 -

many years of service by President Peters who then put the matter to a vote. 

Kamada's appointment was unanimously approved. 

Silumko NONDWANGU (NUMSA-South Africa) commented that although his 

delegation agreed with the decision to establish the new position, as a matter of 

principle it should be kept in mind that the IMF was a global trade union federation 

consisting of countries from all over the world, both in the North and the South, and 

that the rich experience and knowledge from both hemispheres was something which 

made the IMF a successful and productive organization. He asked that the 

Executive Committee discuss at its next meeting the issue of the IMF's leadership 

structure with regard to fair representation in an effort to ensure that both the North 

and South have equal standing in the IMF. 

PETERS responded by saying that it had been expressly pointed out in the Executive 

Committee meeting that the appointment was not a precedent-setting event and 

could change in the future. 

ITEM 8: Congress Nominations 

The Executive Committee unanimously nominated the following officers for reelection 

as IMF officers for the ensuing term: 

President Jürgen Peters 

General Secretary Marcello Malentacchi 

During the Executive Committee meeting, it was also proposed that a new position 

entitled "Vice President" be added to the IMF Executive and that the rules be 

amended to reflect that. President Peters commented that the Executive felt that 

such a position was warranted in an organization the size of the IMF. The nominee 

suggested for the position, whose name would be submitted to the Congress as a 

candidate, was: 

R. Thomas Buffenbarger (IAMAW-USA) 

The deadline for submission of candidates for election as officers was set at Monday, 

23 May 2005 at 12:00 noon. 

ITEM 9: Date and Place of Next Central Committee Meeting 

Fernando LOPES (CNM-CUT-Brazil) announced that during the April Latin America/ 

Caribbean Regional meeting in Chile, a proposal was adopted to invite the Central 

Committee to conduct its next meeting in the Bahia region of Brazil, located just north 

of Sao Paulo. It would be co-hosted by the two Brazilian affiliates. The exact date 

for the meeting would be announced later, but November of 2007 was suggested as 

an approximate time frame. The proposal was accepted. 

ITEM 10: Any Other Business 

No new business items were brought before the Committee. Thereupon, the meeting 

of the IMF Central Committee adjourned at 10:05 a.m.
