Next WorkWeek looks at the growing support for Palestinians and Palestinian workers. We hear from CUNA professor and AFT PSC member Carol Lang. She points out that most workers don’t know is that the AFL-CIO has been in a long term partnership with the Israeli trade union federation Histadrut despite it's history of supporting the apartheid regime in South Africa and a the regime in Israel that subjugates Palestinian workers and people. Lang reports that Liz Shuler, the president of the AFL-CIO ordered the San Francisco Labor Council not to even discuss the boycott and sanctions against Israel. These reports on the AFL-CIO's Solidarity Center and NED were made at a national conference in Philadelphia on June 11, 2022 that was held alongside the AFL-CIO convention.
