Yeah I was lukewarm as Shawn Fain initially was on unions taking stances on these types of political issues, but rank-and-file support of these motions shows that leadership listens, and ILWU and UAW are well-positioned to show labour's power to sanction governments that commit, aid and abet indiscriminate manslaughter, which is the most charitable description I can give to what's happening in Palestine.
