"The labor actions are built on a decades-long tradition of internationalism, anti-militarism, and anti-imperialism."
"In response to the unfolding genocide in Gaza, France's CGT dockworkers refused to load arms components bound for Israel at the country's largest port."
Recent dockworker protests across Europe, particularly against arms shipments to Israel amid the Gaza crisis, represent a strong collective stance against militarism and imperialism. Starting in France, dockworkers at the Fos-Marseille port halted the loading of military cargo, subsequently inspiring actions in Genoa, Salerno, and beyond. This movement underlines a growing trend in international labor solidarity, as trade unions across Europe unite to resist arms trafficking and advocate for peace and justice, continuing a legacy of activism against militarism.
