People take part in the National march for Palestine in central London organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, August 3, 2024
TRADE unionists across Britain are to take part in a TUC-backed workplace day of action for Palestine next Thursday.
Workers are calling on the government to ban all arms exports, immediately recognise the state of Palestine, ban the trade in goods from illegal Israeli settlements and ensure Palestinians can access humanitarian aid.
After thousands of people took part in workplace days of action last year, workers are again being encouraged to organise acts of solidarity, which could include a two-minute silence, a stall outside their workplace, a bake sale or simply wearing the colours of the Palestinian flag.
