THE trade union movement in the UK is made up of around 5.5 million members. At its annual congress in September 2020 the TUC passed a motion on the subject of solidarity with Palestine. The motion submitted by Unite was widely supported across the trade union movement and called for congress to:

Fully support and play an active role in the Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s actions to build a broad coalition against the proposed Israeli annexation and to urge all affiliates to do likewise.

Send a letter to the Prime Minister demanding that Britain take firm and decisive measures, including sanctions, to ensure that Israel stops or reverses the illegal annexation, ends the occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza and respects the right of Palestinian refugees to return.
