Invoking the U.S.’s militant labor history, Muhammad Blaidi of the Palestine New Federation of Trade Unions calls on workers in this country to join with Palestinians in their struggle for liberation. “Americans don’t need to represent occupation,” he says. “They can take a stand for humanity.”

Adalah Justice Project’s Sumaya Awad interviews Manal Shqair on the role of the Palestinian labor organizing in the liberation movement. “Dismantling of the Israeli settlement enterprise means that we Palestinians will be able to reclaim our land and natural resources. This, of course, will put an end to the exploitation of Palestinian workers by their Israeli employers,” Shqair explains.
