    I don’t think any of my dues money or resources should go to this. I feel bad for the people but this is not the Teamsters fight.

      The original labor union call for ceasefire back in the Fall (by a UFCW Local and UE) included a call for the release of the hostages. Later, the UAW Executive Board signed on to that. This call is flawed.

        AFL-CIO position is good. IBT could adopt.
        “The AFL-CIO condemns the attacks by Hamas on October 7th and calls for a negotiated cease-fire in Gaza—including the immediate release of all hostages and provision of desperately needed shelter, food, medicine and other humanitarian assistance to Gazans—and reaffirms our support of a two-state solution for long-term peace and security.”

            This is sensible, considering the IBT does spend money on one side.

          How is making a statement against genocide costing the Teamsters tresury one red cent? The genocide in WWII was a stain on humanity, the ongoing genocide in Ukraine is a stain on humanity, the slaughter of 1500 Israeli's by hamas is a stain on humanity, and the killing of 28,000 Palestinians mostly innocent civilians including children is a stain on humanity. This is not a political statement it's a humanitarian crisis.BTW this post cost me nothing.
