There is a growing movement worldwide among labor to take direct
action against the policies of Israel on the Palestinians. This
forum will look at the relationship between Israel and South
Africa and why trade unionists in South Africa and Canada are
taking action to support an economic boycott of Israel and
oppose the apartheid wall. We will also look at the history of
the AFL-CIO and it's relationship with Israel.
