In your workplace around the country
#workplaces4palestine
Israel is ramping up its genocidal onslaught in Gaza and is bombing Iran in an attempt to drag the region into a wider war. On Wednesday 2 July 2025, answer the call of Palestinian trade unionists by taking action in your workplace to demand our government stop arming Israel.
Tens of thousands of trade unionists in Britain have joined the huge national protests in London and elsewhere and have been leading an array of solidarity actions. In September 2024, TUC Congress unanimously passed a motion demanding an end to all licenses for arms traded with Israel, meeting international law, reaffirming the need to advance a strategy of boycott, divestment and sanctions, and recognising that all Palestinians are subjected to a system of oppression that is recognised internationally as apartheid. Congress also voted to adopt an emergency resolution to support calls for UK-wide workplace actions in support of an immediate ceasefire.
Palestinian workers, remaining steadfast in pursuing their struggle for freedom and justice, have called on workers around the world to stand in solidarity with them by campaigning to end the complicity of their governments, corporations and institutions in Israel’s system of oppression.
On 2 July, take action in your workplace to demand an end to government and corporate complicity in Israel’s atrocities, call for a permanent ceasefire and justice for Palestine.
Discuss with your colleagues in your branch about what kind of action is best suited to your workplace and its circumstances. Take action in your workplace:
- Organise a lunch-time walk-out in solidarity with Palestinians. Gather outside your workplace for a photo, and share it on social media (and copy us).
- Circulate a petition calling for the divestment of pension fund holdings from companies complicit in Israel’s attacks, such as arms companies supplying Israel with the weapons it uses in its attacks.
- Organise a letter writing session for your members to write to their local councillors to call on them to divest LGPS funds administered by the council from companies enabling Israel’s war crimes.
- Support the Don’t Buy Apartheid campaign by asking your workplace to commit not to stock Israeli fresh produce and Coca-Cola products. Israeli agricultural exporters and Coca-Cola operate in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land, using looted Palestinian resources
- Organise a lunch-time meeting, teach-in or film screening to educate colleagues about the Palestinian struggle for freedom.
