The American Postal Workers Union became the largest U.S. union to call for a cease-fire in Gaza, joining a growing labor movement mobilization against Israel’s genocide in Palestine.
Nastaran Mohit, the Organizing Director of the NewsGuild of New York and a member of US Labor Against Racism and War, explains the growing momentum for Palestine solidarity within the trade union movement.
“The McCarthyite environment we are witnessing, where there’s retaliation against people in their workplaces…simply calling for a ceasefire has led to termination, within this context, union representation is critical.”
