The Italian union USB is going on a general strike on November 28th and will be rallying on November 29 against the genocide in Gaza. They are also appealing for US workers and unions including the ILWU & ILA to stop the movement of all cargo to Israel to stop the genocide and to work toward a general strike in the US.

Hello everybody. I am Francesco Staccioli, member of the national board of the USB Trade Confederation in Italy. Our comrades in United States with Disarmed Genocide, Labor for Palestine National Network, Lifeline for Palestine, and other groups are organizing in action in solidarity with Palestine on November 28th and November 29th.
At the same time, we will be shutting down Italy again with a new general strike called against rearm Europe and the war economy which is cutting down our wages, our rights, our public services that is clearly clearly linked with genocide and all the wars. They will be protesting the enormous complicity of their own governments in enabling the genocide and the complicity of their principal labor federation as well as uplifting the call by Palestinian trade unions for an arms embargo.
We support our comrades in the United States and all working people around the world. We fight to ensure that our governments spend our taxes on earth, housing and other human needs and not on murdering people in Palestine or anywhere else in the world. International solidarity is no more an option for working people. We must connect our struggles and strengthen our solidarity network for human rights, peace, and a world that works for all of us.
Free Palestine and free the world from the lords of war.
