The IFTU's new partners are the General Workers' Federation of Iraq and the General Workers' Federation of the Republic of Iraq, both remnants of the state-sponsored General Federation of Trade Unions under Saddam Hussein. This agreement, brokered by the International Confederation of Arab Trade Unions, gave the new General Federation of Iraqi Workers the right to represent the country's labor movement internationally (specifically, at the ICATU) "until circumstances allow the holding of general union elections."</ins></div></td></tr>

It is possible, some observers believe, that the IFTU is preparing for the end of the occupation, and seeks to break a "nationalist" element away from the insurgency in preparation for US troop withdrawal. Some also speculate that the agreement is evidence of a decline in the influence of the Iraqi Communist Party in the union federation.<ref>[http://www.truthout.org/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/36/15350 http://www.truthout.org/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/36/15350], by [[David Bacon]], [[Truthout.Org]], 7 November 2005.</ref></ins></div></td></tr>
