THIS SUNDAY! Why War, Peace & Palestine Are Trade Union Issues

We’re delighted to announce that Irvin Jim, General Secretary of National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa, will be speaking at our TU Conference on Sunday! Irvin and his union, SA’s biggest union, has repeatedly condemned and marched against apartheid Israel’s atrocities. If you want to hear what he’s got to say make sure you join us on Sunday.

Our opening plenary The World at War – A Trade Union Issue features some fantastic international speakers including Chris Smalls from the Amazon Labour Union who touched down in London today and Susan Abdul Salam from the New Union of Jerusalem who is joining us online. It promises to be one of a number of excellent discussions over the course of the day.

We’ve also added two more important speakers to the line-up with Palestinian author and activist Ghada Karmi coming to address the conference as well as Muslim Association of Britain President, Raghad Altikriti.

At the heart of the trade union movement lies international solidarity, which the Palestinians so desperately need. So it’s vital that we continue to work with the trade unions in recognition that war and peace are class issues and Palestine is very much a trade union issue.

So this Sunday (9 June), our Trade Union Conference will ask the key question: with the world at war, how do we stop the warmongers? Be part of it.

Tomorrow’s National Demonstration for Palestine

As Israel’s murderous attacks on Rafah and other parts of the Gaza strip continue we need to ensure that tomorrow’s demonstration is another huge mobilisation for a ceasefire and against our government’s continuing support and arming of Israel.

The demonstration will assemble at Russell Sq at the slightly amended time of 12.30pm and marching to Parliament Square. See you on the streets!
