On March 18th the National Labor Network for Ceasefire and In These Times magazine will host an international webinar featuring trade unionists from Italy and Britain engaged in direct action for justice for Palestinians.
On October 3, 2025 the Confederazione Generale Italiana di Lavoratori (CGIL) participated in a national strike for Palestine. The action involved over two million workers and paralyzed transport and logistics throughout Italy. British workers have also engaged in dramatic actions, pressuring both their government and corporate targets, and have had to withstand attacks on their civil liberties in the process. Join the webinar to learn more from unions from both countries and how it might inform the actions of unions here in the United States.
The need for working class solidarity with Palestine did not end with the so-called “ceasefire” in Gaza. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed since the “ceasefire” went into effect, and the U.S. government recently sent $6.7 billion additional dollars worth of weapons to Israel, funds that are desperately needed to fund human needs in the U.S.
Panelists will include:
- Jo Grady, General Secretary, University and College Union (Britain)
- Salvatore Marra, International Secretary,CGIL (Italy)
- Puneet Maharaj, Executive Director, National Nurses United (U.S.)
- Lara Kiswani, Executive Director, Arab Resource & Organizing Center (AROC) (U.S.)
- Maria Elena Delia, spokesperson, Global Sumud Flotilla – Italy
