Workers assembly: where next for labour organising for Palestine?

Workers assembly: where next for labour organising for Palestine? Session one: assessment of our current moment.

Join Workers for a Free Palestine for an evening of discussion and reflection on the last three years.

This will be the first in a series of workers assemblies which will consider how the British labour movement should be organising in the post ‘ceasefire’ moment, in which Palestine is less in the headlines despite the violence and occupation continuing. 

In this session, we’ll be welcoming speakers from across the labour movement, and collectively assessing the moment we are in and asking where next for anti-imperialist organising at our workplaces. 

Since October 2023, there has been an upsurge of solidarity with the Palestinian cause across Britain. But what has this meant for British labour organising, and efforts to disrupt the flow of goods and weapons to Israel through working class power? 

Despite repressive legislation which has a chilling effect on secondary action, trade unionists have found creative ways to challenge this in their workplaces and sectors, from hospitality to higher education, arts & culture to healthcare. 

However, despite these brave efforts, Britain’s relationship with Israeli genocide and occupation continues. It is only sustained pressure from the organised working class that can end this.

Whether you are a long-term trade unionist or are just starting to think about how you could organise for Palestine at work, join us as we reflect on what’s worked and what hasn’t, and draw on our collective resources to ask: where next for labour organising for Palestine?
