ICTU Warns of Worker Objections to Israeli Actions in Gaza - 15/09/2025

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) has said that workers in Ireland should not be placed in "unconscionable situations" of facilitating trade with Israel or handling Israeli goods while attacks on Gaza continue.ICTU has called on the Government to step up its response by ending trade with Israel.ICTU said that it and other unions are reviewing procurement and pension investments to ensure non-complicity in Israel's actions."While Ireland has made diplomatic efforts within the EU, the failure to implement real sanctions means some trade union members fear being complicit in Israel’s violence," said ICTU General Secretary Owen Reidy.Owen Reidy joined us on The Agenda this morning to tell us more about this.
