Around the country, SIPTU members will participate in a Day of Action to show solidarity with the Palestinian people and workers on Friday 28th November.
Members are being encouraged to organise actions in their workplaces or off-site in response to a call by the Palestinian trade union movement for their international colleagues to highlight the ongoing attacks in Gaza and the West Bank.
Mags O’Brien from SIPTU’s Global Solidarity Committee and Trade Union Friends of Palestine said: “Palestinian workers remain steadfast in pursuing their struggle for freedom and justice. We must answer their call to workers around the world to stand in solidarity with them by campaigning to end the complicity of their governments, corporations and institutions in Israel’s system of oppression.”
Members can also support the call to Enact the Occupied Territories Bill by e-mailing their local TDs. SIPTU’s email action is HERE
Members will find a range of resources for Palestine Solidarity actions on the Union website HERE
