Solidarity with comrades in Nova Scotia! Union members and activists blocked entrances at Elbit subsidiary GeoSpectrum. It’s no longer business-as-usual for Canadian companies complicit in genocide, occupation and Israeli apartheid. Workers are saying #CanadaStopArmingIsrael

Yesterday, union members turned statements into action. We responded to Palestinian trade unions’ urgent call for #CeasefireNOW in Gaza and for action to halt the arms trade to Israel. It can no longer be business-as-usual for companies arming Israel. #CanadaStopArmingIsrael
