As uniquely meriting among all the countries in the world they can't work with....
http://www.tuliponline.org/?p=3808 From news article: Britain’s Trade Union Congress (TUC) has ended its annual conference with a call on its affiliates to review any bilateral relations they might have with Israeli organisations. According to an amendment proposed by the PCS civil service union, “Congress calls on all unions on the basis of this policy to review their bi-lateral relations with all Israeli organisations, including Histadrut.” As recently as three years ago, the TUC was on record supporting relations with the Histadrut — and did not support the Iranian-backed campaign of boycotts, divestments and sanctions (BDS). But that all that has changed. What exactly has the Histadrut done to merit this “review”? In recent months, the Histadrut has played an active role in the new mass movement calling for social justice in Israel, a movement that has brought hundreds of thousands of people – mostly young people – into the streets of Tel Aviv and other Israel cities. It is an unprecedented development in Israel, and one which has been compared to the “Arab Spring” in its significance. The TUC has decided to cut itself off from the Israeli labour movement at precisely the moment when social and economic issues top the agenda in that country, when there is a chance for the first time in a generation to create a broad-based movement for equality and social justice. |
