HUGH LANNING says there is no path to peace without dismantling Israel’s control over Palestinian land, lives and resources

STAR readers will have a rare opportunity to participate in a joint meeting towards the end of March, when, as part of a Tom Mann Internationalist Tour, activists from Britain and Australia meet across the continents to discuss the future for our labour movements.
The Morning Star has joined the General Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU) — part-established by Mann and now in its 125th year — Strikemap and publishers Manifesto Press to bring together leading lay and official trade unionists in an online meeting.
This will be chaired by Australia’s Jo Kowalczyk, who leads the Women in Super organisation, which campaigns for gender equality in retirement income. This week Women in Super helped secure legislative and political changes to bring all women on maternity leave into workers’ pension funds. It is considered a major victory after 15 years of campaigning. Already the campaign for special consideration of low income and First Nation women has begun.

This ‘Big Meet’ our focus is building the next ‘Megapicket,’ say HENRY FOWLER and GAWAIN LITTLE of the General Federation of Trade Unions

Our roving AGM from this Thursday through Sunday and our upcoming Morning Star Conference 2025 on June 14 in London are great opportunities to meet the team and help plan the way forward, says editor BEN CHACKO
