4/4 Katherine Nastovski: Trade Union Solidarity with Palestine

Part 3 of 4: Katherine Nastovski is an activist within the key Canadian Union CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees), which is committed to the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until such time as Israel recognises the full international legal rights of Palestinians and her responsibilities toward them (the BDS call and much further info can be found at http://www.bdsmovement.net/?q=node/10 for BDS call and info).

Here, Katherine shares some of her experience of campaining on this issue amongst rank and file trade unionists; discussing some of the challenges she and fellow activsists have come up against, and the approaches they have taken to them.
