Despite the announcement of a ceasefire earlier this month, the conditions that sparked global outrage remain unchanged — Palestinians are still being killed, their land is still being stolen, and the apartheid regime that Israel has imposed on Palestinians for decades remains intact. The United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America (UE) was one of the first unions to call for a ceasefire, on October 20, 2023. Now, as UE leaders, we believe more than ever that the labor movement still has a duty, not only to speak out, but to do the work necessary to ending the injustice against Palestinians so long as it continues to be funded by U.S. workers’ taxes and supported by our government.
