IJAN Condemns UAW International’s Move to Annul Historic BDS Vote
The International Jewish anti-Zionist Network was very happy to hear that the student-workers in the University of California system endorsed the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) call through their local union, UAW 2865. This was the first time a major union – in this case, one representing over 14,000 workers – voted to support the BDS call, an inspiring example of grassroots union-based solidarity.
As historic victims of state-sponsored discrimination and violence, Jews have long stood with the oppressed, including the labor, civil rights and anti-apartheid movements. In that spirit, the Labor Network of the IJAN wholeheartedly supports the movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, against Israeli apartheid.
