U.S. labor unions are urging Biden to halt military aid to Israel while it wages war on Gaza war. With thousands dead and a humanitarian crisis worsening, will the U.S. continue to support Israel's assault?

    The groups behind the letter are the American Postal Workers Union (APWU), Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT), National Education Association (NEA), Service Employees International Union (SEIU), United Auto Workers (UAW), and United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE).

    I hope they threaten to strike over the issue. The federal government won’t yield the military industrial complex. And, this is enough people to ignite a general strike for fair working conditions and compensation.

      Isn’t it great that we live in a country where a solidarity strike is technically illegal? That’s sarcasm if you didn’t pick up on it. It is not great. I hope they strike anyways.

        The fact that it’s illegal is a clear indicator that it’s an effective means of change. We risk or we’re crushed.

    Yup, supporting terrorists should be illegal.
