Statement of the Confederation of Productive Forces on the War on Gaza

You wish Trade Union Confederation of Productive Forces Informing national and international public opinion of its official position on the statement issued by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) on October 20, 2023, which relates to the so-called request for a ceasefire between the parties to the conflict in the occupied Palestinian territories. 

We condemn the content of this statement, which portrays the crimes taking place today as a war between parties of equal power, without acknowledging the crimes against humanity and genocide committed by the Israeli occupation army against civilians in the Gaza Strip to date.

The Confederation of Productive Forces Trade Unions adds regarding the war on Gaza:

We express our deep sorrow and regret for the silence shown by Arab unions, led by the Tunisian union and the Palestinian union, which chairs the Arab Trade Union Confederation (ATUC). We also express our deep sorrow for the inaction of Arab unions affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation, including the General Union of Algerian Workers (UGTA), to pressure for the removal of this disgraceful and biased statement, or at least condemn it.

We hold the Arab unions affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) historically responsible for their silence and inaction to withdraw this statement, which we consider a green light for the Israeli occupation, by the world's largest trade union organization, to continue its crimes against humanity.

On the other hand, we note with great satisfaction the adoption by the 31st Congress of the Public Services International (PSI) of Resolution 32, which condemns the Israeli occupation and supports the Palestinian cause. This resolution was proposed by Turkish unions, and we should not forget to thank all the Arab unions affiliated with the PSI, which supported this resolution, which we consider a major gain for the Palestinian cause, which is facing a severe blockade within international organizations. 

In conclusion, we affirm our full readiness to coordinate and cooperate with all global unions that demonstrate seriousness and resolve in supporting the cause of the Palestinian people.

Long live free and proud Palestine. Glory and immortality to our righteous martyrs.

Declaration The War Against Gaza

The Confederation Syndicale of Forces Products (COSYFOP) will inform the national and international public opinion in its official position concerning the declaration of the Confederation Syndicale International (CSI) published on October 20, 2023, to the extent that it is called “appelle” “Come to all parties in Gaza and Israel.”

Our condominiums ferment the content of this declaration, which detains the atrocities that come during the day as a conflict between other parties leads to them, to the extent of ignorant of acts of genocide and crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Israeli army against them. Civil rights of this day.

We also have a professional understanding of Arab syndicates, noting the Tunisian syndicates and palestinian syndicates that are part of the Arab Confederation Syndicate - CSI ARABE, face to face with this honest declaration, for a partial time, in Favorite Israel.

We also note the initial registration of Arab syndicates affiliated with the CSI, and with the Union Generale des Travailurs Algeriens (UGTA), in order to view the retiree this Declaration or, in the future, the condominium.

We use this to respond to history when it comes to noise, car silence, and face-to-face action when declaring a message as if it was translated to Israel in order to continue massacres against innocent civil servants.

In return, we have asked for the adoption of the resolution on 32 hours of 31 a.m. of the International Services Publics (ISP), which has the Israeli occupation and is responsible for the cause. This solution is initially based on Turkish syndicates and a link to all Arab syndicates affiliated with the ISP. We are concerned about this as a Victorian sign for the cause of Palestine, which has been in an important area in some international syndicated organisations.

To join us, our souls will be more engaged in collaborating with all international syndicates that are in the series and determinating their hearts due to the cause of the people.

I live a life in Palestine and I am honored by our courageous martyrs.

Press Release  The War Against Gaza

The Confederation of Trade Unions for Productive Forces (COSYFOP) wishes to inform the national and international public of its official position regarding the statement issued by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) on October 20th, 2023, regarding what has been referred to as the “call for a ceasefire between all parties in Gaza and Israel.”

We strongly condemn the content of this statement, which portrays the atrocities committed today as a conflict between supposed equal parties, all the while ignoring the acts of genocide and crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Israeli army against the civilians of Gaza to this day.

We are deeply saddened and disappointed by the lack of response from the Arab trade unions, notably the Tunisian and Palestinian unions, which lead the Arab Trade Union Confederation – ARAB TUC, in the face of this shameful and biased statement in favor of Israel.

We also note the lack of initiative from Arab trade unions affiliated with the ITUC, including the General Union of Algerian Workers (UGTA), to take action to either withdraw this statement or, as a last resort, condemn it.

We remind them of the historical responsibility that rests on their shoulders, as their silence and inaction in the face of this statement are considered a green light given to Israel to continue its massacres against innocent civilians.

On the other hand, we warmly welcome the adoption of Resolution 32 at the 31st Congress of the Public Services International (PSI), which condemns the Israeli occupation and supports the Palestinian cause. This resolution was initiated by Turkish trade unions and received support from Arab trade unions affiliated with PSI. We consider this advancement a significant victory for the Palestinian cause, which faces significant challenges within international trade union organizations.

In conclusion, we wish to emphasize our complete commitment to collaborating with all international trade unions that demonstrate seriousness and determination in their support for the Palestinian people.

Palestine remains free and determined, eternal honor to our courageous martyrs.
