Free Palestine! Workers & General Strike NOW at SFLC Meeting to Stop US Supported Gaza
Workers protested at the San Francisco Labor Council for the leadership's support for the genocide going on in Israel and their actions to shutdown any debate on the labor boycott and shutoff of all US weapons to Israel as well as the criminal genocide supported by the Biden administration. They are big supporters of war monger Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi who is pushing for war against China.
Free Free Palestine! Workers & General Strike NOW At SFLC Meeting To Stop US Supported Gaza Genocide
Workers went to the San Francisco Labor Council on February 12, 2024 to demand a general strike to stop th US supported Israeli genocide in Gaza. The officials of the SFLC have blocked any discussion on Palestine and got a letter from AFL-CIO president Liz Schuler that they cannot even have a discussion on a labor boycott of Israel for the apartheid policies against Palestinians. The officials of the council have also bullied delegates and removed one who raised the issue at the council.
The officials also tried to remove the workers but they stood up and chanted Free Free Palestine, General Strike. After failing to remove them for fear of bad publicity and embarrass the judges there at the meeting who wanted the SFLC endorsement, they allowed social worker Monique Flambures to speak for 5 minutes.
After speaking she received support from the delegates many of whom support the Palestinians but the delegates have been blocked by the top officials from taking any action on the genocide in Gaza.
One vice president of the council, Olga Miranda who is also president of SEIU 87 tried to get a goon squad to throw the workers out. She is also a big labor supporter of AIPAC and spoke at their 2016 convention supporting Zionism. She has also physically threatened a member of her local who voiced opposition to ordering members to give financial support to Democratic Party politicians that Miranda was supporting.
