GLASGOW hospitality workers have rallied the city’s activists to build an industrial strategy in support of Palestine.
Fresh from the success of their Serve Solidarity gig in June, which saw local musicians and established acts such as Frankie Boyle and Josie Long raise more than £14,000 to send medics to Palestine, Unite Hospitality turned its energies to building more co-ordinated action.
A packed meeting on Wednesday night heard from speakers in the hospitality sector, but also from workers in health and shipbuilding, before workshops focused on how to raise consciousness of the Palestinian struggle, push employers to disconnect with the Israeli military-industrial complex and build a plan for defence diversification with workers at its heart.
