News
The Maritime Union of Australia has proudly announced that Queensland member Hamish Paterson will captain a vessel as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, an unprecedented international civilian fleet sailing to Gaza to challenge the illegal blockade and deliver urgently needed humanitarian aid. Italian dockworkers have threatened to “shut down all of Europe” and block all shipments to Israel if communication with the Global Sumud Flotilla bound for Gaza is lost. The Queensland Branch of the MUA has thrown its support behind Hamish Paterson.
Union Membership and Workplace Organising
The union movement has a history of upholding movements for social justice, including Palestinian freedom. The effectiveness of your union’s involvement in the campaign is proportionate to the level of workplace union organisation.
If you are a worker and not already a union member, you can apply for union membership at For The Workers | Join Your Union Today | Australian Unions.
Building workplace union organisation and building union support for the campaign to end the genocide are two sides of the same coin. Online resources for building union organisations in your workplace can be found at: Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee and Labour Notes. Or contact Unionists for Palestine Qld.
