Dockworkers are now officially “the elite” according to the media. Congrats! Welcome!
Im still always amazed how they feel the need to mention the Oct 7 attack but not the constant oppression, attacks and killings by the IDF that led to that attack.
or the fact that they have been doing it for the past 80years,
The news site is reposting an Article written by Agence France Presse which the French government owns 20% of. The French government like most western governments is pro-Israel biased. So I’m not too suprised by the slanted reporting.
(Yes of course the AFP claims “editorial independence”, but is any news site “independent” when the funder has the power to cut the money if it says something the funder doesn’t like).
Isn’t France about to recognise the Palestinian state? And isn’t there a current crisis between France and Israel over what is happening with strong words from Macron to qualify what Israel is doing?
As an American it’s hard to imagine blue collar workers that oppose Israel.
as an American it’s hard to imagine blue collar workers taking any amount of coherent action, the boss has surveillance on them 24/7 and if they step out of line they’ll lose the meds that keep their kids alive or they’ll be disappeared to el salvador
Americans have been made too individualist for collective action I guess
This is why unions are absolutely crucial
fucking hell, when you put it like that…
As an American, it’s pretty fucking aggravating watching blue collar workers vote against their (and everyone else’s, save for rich people’s) interests in a statistically-significant fashion.
Yeah good on their leader to support them. There are unions though. The important thing here is they’re seemingly refusing collectively. Just a few people refusing probably wouldn’t be as successful.
We are a very stupid country
This is the power of the organized working class. Nothing happens with out us.
Way to go.
Nice
No, it’s near Marseille.
Wakka wakka!
Hell fucking yeah French dock workers.
Thank god for the french
