All major Indian trade unions have called upon the govt to scrap agreement with Israel to export Indian workers & appealed to workers to boycott Israeli products & refuse to handle Israeli cargo.
Bruh you know you’re bad when you make Indians side with Muslims.
Construction workers from India should not be used to replace Palestinian workers in Israel, said major Indian trade unions in a joint statement issued on Thursday, 9 November. The signed statement was released on behalf of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) , All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) and even BJP-affiliated Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS) among others.
Stating that Indian trade unions must rise in solidarity with Palestine and reject the “disastrous” idea, the central trade unions have called upon the Indian government to scrap the agreement signed in May 2023, during Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen’s visit, to send 42,000 workers to Israel.
The Israeli construction industry also employs Chinese and Moroccan workers, but is feeling the absence of the large Palestinian workforce. Israel has therefore also approached China and Moldova for workers, but in the wake of Beijing’s hard line on the Israel–Palestine conflict, it is doubtful whether more Chinese workers would come to Israel.
