Workers around the world are taking action in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Thousands are marching in the streets on mass protests against government complicity with Israels crimes, while trade unionists are organising in their workplaces building divestment and boycott campaigns against genocide and apartheid.
As the genocide in Gaza continues, and attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank escalate, we must turn solidarity into winning workplace campaigns. Join the PSC Trade Union conference on Saturday 14th November in Central London, where you can continue to plan, network and organise BDS campaigns for your workplace and in your trade union.
The conference will provide the tools necessary for practical and meaningful action, to grow divestment and boycotts campaigns and deliver wins across our sectors.
The conference will feature contributions by international guest speakers and key trade union representatives and activists, including:
Jamal Juma, executive committee member of the New Unions in Palestine, Coordinator of the Palestinian grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign (Stop the Wall), and a secretariat member of the BDS National Committee (BNC)
Hameda Deedat, Organisational Support to the Leadership at the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (SATAWU)
