Hamas attacks Palestinian unions; TUC backs workers' organisations
Attacks on the PGFTU in Gaza
18 July 2007
The TUC Executive Committee today (18 July 2007) considered reports from Palestine about further attacks on the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU) in Gaza.
The TUC has been informed that after occupying the PGFTU main branch in Gaza, a group of gunmen from Hamas' 'Executive Force' attacked the PGFTU offices in Gaza and Khan Younis, occupying them, stealing everything inside and asking the union leaders to appear for interrogation.
The TUC heard calls for efforts to secure the life of the trade unionists affected and to evacuate the branches of PGFTU from Gaza.
The TUC will be writing formally to Hamas leader Ismail Haniya to protest, and has sent a message of solidarity to the PGFTU.
For further information about attacks on the PGFTU, see http://www.tuc.org.uk/international/tuc-13494-f0.cfm
