Default UK UNITE (union) votes 100% to boycott Israel
Well bully all for them.
From news article:
Britain's largest union, Unite, has unanimously passed a motion to boycott Israeli companies at its first policy conference in Manchester on Wednesday. The motion, which passed unanimously, called the union "to vigorously promote a policy of divestment from Israeli companies", while a boycott of Israeli goods and services will be "similar to the boycott of South African goods during the era of apartheid".

Reflecting the University and College Union's call at their Manchester conference earlier in the week, Unite will similarly host a "Palestine conference" to support trade union action against Israel.

But at odds with the UCU's call to sever links with Israel's trade union movement Histadrut, Unite delegates voted to keep solidarity links. Stephen Scott, director of Trade Union Friends of Israel, said that indicates a split within the pro-boycott movement, many of whom realise such a call "is all very dangerous stuff.

"It would be huge for another trade union movement to expel them even when they are a democratic organisation and pass all the criteria of being a member of the international trade unions."

Nevertheless, Mr Scott added: "All round, you now have a major player supporting the boycott and the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, and there is no resistance."

If this miserable bunch of looney left wing anti semites would do the job they were elected to do by their members rather than worry about politics which should be none of their business they might be worth worrying about.

This country is teetering on the brink of a double dip recession our bankers whose greed caused this situation are still shamelessly still paying themselves mind numming bonuses from tax payer bail out money and our pensioners are being fleeced and cheated out of their pensions to pay for it all.

And what are these champions of the working man doing to end this situation but pass these stupid politically vacuous looney left resolutions about boycotting jaffa oranges which will change nothing whasoever for the people they claim to represent.

Personally I would like to have ther list of Israeli companies so I and those who think like me would know better which firms to spend our money supporting!!
