*We must call for a national strike demanding an end of the United States financing of the genocide, occupation, and war against Palestinian people.

Stop privatization, outsourcing & union busting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Palestinian General Federation
of Trade Unions
Brothers and Sisters of unions and other labor organizations in the United States of America:
In the midst of pain and blood, in the displacement camps, amidst the rubble, and the ruins of our homes, workshops, factories, stores, and institutions destroyed by the “Israeli” occupation, using U.S.-made weapons, in the name of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU), we call on you for solidarity.
Instead of celebrating with you on May 1st, International Workers Day, we are busy shrouding dozens of people who are being killed around the clock in the middle of a genocidal war against our people – in every sense of that word. This has led to the destruction of everything in the Gaza Strip (hospitals, health centers, schools, universities, streets, water purification, sewage, and other infrastructure, factories, shops, cultural centers, mosques, churches, and even unborn children), none of which were spared by the occupation\u2019s bombs, missiles and shells (including internationally banned weapons, like white phosphorus).
We are living through wholesale slaughter and forced dislocation – ethnic cleansing – committed against us. This devastating war and its catastrophes have forced upon us in the PGFTU in Gaza great responsibilities to collect the broken bodies and even pieces of our people, healing the wounded and trying to ease their pain (without anesthetics, antibiotics or other medicine), dealing with the psychological trauma (especially of the children), while trying to convey the truth of this suffering and the humanitarian and environmental catastrophe to the world.
Since the beginning of the aggression, we in the PGFTU have considered ourselves an integral part of our people – not separated from their reality. We have suffered and lost thousands of members, union offices, facilities, and other institutions.
Despite our efforts to provide relief to our people with the limited support we have received and to raise the voice of our people loudly in international forums, we have encountered shocking silence and neglect by the international labor movement. However, we recognize there have been some exceptional examples of unions, clearly demonstrated in leading protests denouncing the Zionist war of genocide being waged on the Gaza Strip.\u201d
