Canada's central labour union, the Canadian Labour Congress, voted to refuse handling military cargo destined for Israel, Middle East Eye reported. The decision came as part of a resolution expressing "solidarity with Palestinian workers and their families," according to the union's position.
The move represents a significant action by organized labour in Canada regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with dockworkers and other transport employees expected to comply with the directive on military shipments.
