WORKERS and students across Britain took part in a day of action today to demand that the government suspend all arms sales to Israel.

Trade unionists were joined by campaigners and students outside workplaces, colleges and universities in a 30-minute stoppage to stand in solidarity with Palestine and Lebanon.

The action was organised by the Stop the War Coalition (StWC) Trade Union Network after the TUC voted to support it in its Congress last month.
