Without trade unions we wouldn't have:

• Sick pay
• A two day weekend

• Protection from workplace discrimination
• 8 hour working days
• Redundancy pay
• A minimum wage
• Health and safety in the workplace
• Workplace pensions

Civil servants in the Trade Department have requested to cease work immediately on arms export licences to Israel and their union, PCS, is considering bringing legal action to prevent members from being forced to carry out unlawful acts which contribute to war crimes in Gaza.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of the aid workers killed by Israeli strikes this week.

It is unforgivable that British made weapons could have contributed to their killing.

We must suspend all arms sales to Israel immediately.

The targeted killing of seven international aid workers by the Israeli military proves yet again that there is no safe place in #Gaza .

We stand with our colleagues World Central Kitchen as they grieve the loss of their team members in Gaza.
