Call for action:

Against atrocities in #Gaza from union federations in Europe, including EPSU:

▪️Advance immediate sanctions, including the suspension of EU-Israel Association Agreement,

▪️End all trade and economic relations with Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.

#Palestine
European trade union federations, including EPSU and @etuc-ces.bsky.social, have written to the EU demanding decisive action on Gaza.

Words are not enough. The EU must act to uphold human rights and international law.

Read the letter ⬇️ www.epsu.org/article/euro...
European unions call for EU to take decisive action on Gaza
With growing unrest over the catastrophic situation in Gaza, the European trade union federations are challenging the EU’s lack of action.
