Palestine : Labour Struggles in Palestine and International Solidarity
From the LabourStart 2016 conference in Toronto on May 8, 2016:
The global labour movement has long criticized Israel for human and trade union rights violations and abuse of Palestinian workers,
while workers in Palestine are resisting oppression and building a movement we can support. Trade unions and federations of labour in Canada are heeding the call for solidarity made by 170 Palestinian organizations for a Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. Let’s discuss how we can continue to build this solidarity.
Speakers:
Natalie Guay, Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN)
Mike Palecek, Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW)
Mary-Jo Nadeau, Faculty for Palestine (F4P)
Moderator:
Hassan Husseini, Ottawa CUPE District Council
