Part of the San Francisco LaborFest - At: ILWU local 6 – 99 Hegenberger Rd, Oakland, CA

There has been a growing movement of trade unions and unionists defending the Palestinian workers and unions. Trade unionists are supporting the call of the Palestinian trade union movement for a blockade of all trade and cargo to Israel along with military and economic aid by the US. They are also calling for a break by the AFL-CIO with their relationship with the Israeli trade union federation the Histadrut. Panelists will speak about the labor actions now and what is needed to stop the genocide.
