Since 2010, there have been actions in solidarity with the workers and people of Palestine.\u00a0The latest action was on June 4, 2021, and the picket successfully stop the Israeli ZIM ship Volans\u00a0from being unloaded and loading.\u00a0it was also met with pickets in Seattle, Prince Rupert and supporters in Vancouver. This was\u00a0a West Coast action of labor solidarity.<\/p>\n
South African workers as well are not newcomers to action against Zim Lines.\u00a0In February 2009, SATAWU members in Durban refused to offload a Zim\u00a0Lines ship in protest against the 2008-2009 Israeli attack on Gaza.<\/p>\n
We will show video from the ILWU actions in 2010, 2014 and the most recent\u00a0action on June 4, 2021.<\/p>\n
