Protest at SFLC, No AFL-CIO Support for Genocide in Palestine! No Ties to Israel Histadrut
As part of a global day of action a protest was held at the offices of the San Francisco Labor Council to protest it's leadership and the AL-CIO supporting the apartheid Israeli regime. In 2021 they shut down a discussion on a labor boycott of Israel and used a letter from AFL-CIO president Liz Schuler that there could be no discussion or debate. They also support ties with the racist Israeli union Histadrut. There was also a rally on the same day in New York at the AFL-CIO offices.
On November 9, 2023 as part of a global day of action for the Palestinian people and workers a speak out was held at the San Francisco Labor Council to protest the AFL-CIO's support for US and Israel continued genocide against Palestine people and workers.
The AFL-CIO has refused to even support a cease fire and also in September 21, 2021 sent a
letter to the SF Labor Council saying they could not discuss the issue of a labor boycott of Israel for the illegal occupation and attacks on Palestinian people.
The AFL-CIO leadership also support the Israeli trade union Histadrut which discriminates against Arab workers as well as stealing their money. The Histadrut was actively involved in supporting the apartheid regime in South Africa with arms and other military equipment.
Speakers talked about the open support for AIPAC by SEIU 87 president Olga Miranda who is also a vice president of the San Francisco Labor Council.
There was also a similar demonstration in New York City at the AFL-CIO. This action in San Francisco was initiated by the United Front Committee For A Labor Party.
