Dockworkers are now officially “the elite” according to the media. Congrats! Welcome!
-
Dude. I bet they have a retirement pension. I bet they get paid sick leave and time off when their child is born. Fucking elite assholes. Unions are the real parasites on the working class.
Do they not think about the rights of the Israeli working class? It's an Israelis right to wake up every morning and know that at least 10 children in Gaza were killed while they slept. Palestinian babies are the real elites actually.

are you hamas sympathizer?? why are you using plestinin??? amalek babies forced israeli to attack provocally

This is the power of the organized working class. Nothing happens with out us.
-
I mean, the working class is going far-right most of the time these days, so I'm not sure that's how I'd frame it.

As an American it’s hard to imagine blue collar workers that oppose Israel.
-
as an American it's hard to imagine blue collar workers taking any amount of coherent action, the boss has surveillance on them 24/7 and if they step out of line they'll lose the meds that keep their kids alive or they'll be disappeared to el salvador
-
Americans have been made too individualist for collective action I guess
-
This is why unions are absolutely crucial
-
fucking hell, when you put it like that....
-
As an American, it’s pretty fucking aggravating watching blue collar workers vote against their (and everyone else’s, save for rich people’s) interests in a statistically-significant fashion.
-
Yeah good on their leader to support them. There are unions though. The important thing here is they’re seemingly refusing collectively. Just a few people refusing probably wouldn’t be as successful.

We are a very stupid country

When you put the issues on the table without the attached political narratives, they're for the same policies we are, a lot of times for the same reasons.

You know, European leftists integrate themselves into football culture
I know the differences in how European and American sporting is organized factor in here, but seriously I don't think "everything you like is bad actually" is a winning position

Hell fucking yeah French dock workers.

The French always have the balls. During the yellow jacket protests couple of years back, electric company workers gave away free electricity as part of protest.
-
Governments in any nation - France deefinitely not excluded - are self-serving and following the wishes of the rich, but the common French people have always had balls!
-
-
The French is so hardcore, love it.
-
Glad to see the French still understand the point of direct action when it comes to protest.
They won't listen to our words, so we make them hear our actions.
-
Thank god for the french
-
Way to go.
-
Nice
-
No, it’s near Marseille.
Wakka wakka!

-
Viva la France!
-
go team France!

Workers taking action, love to see it.

Im still always amazed how they feel the need to mention the Oct 7 attack but not the constant oppression, attacks and killings by the IDF that led to that attack.
or the fact that they have been doing it for the past 80years,
The news site is reposting an Article written by Agence France Presse which the French government owns 20% of. (And majorly subsidised). The French government like most western governments is pro-Israel biased. So I’m not too suprised by the slanted reporting.
(Yes of course the AFP claims “editorial independence”, but is any news site “independent” when the funder has the power to cut the money if it says something the funder doesn’t like).
Isn't France about to recognise the Palestinian state? And isn't there a current crisis between France and Israel over what is happening with strong words from Macron to qualify what Israel is doing?
I think that when the funder is the State, laws make that a bit more difficult than when it's completely private. Although it doesn't completely solve that problem ofc.
Yeah yeah, they were treated like cockroaches for 60 years, but WhAt AbOuT OcToBeR 7tH????
Hamas would never have been a problem if humans were treated as humans from the start.
Zionists do love their cherrypicking. The actual big picture is devastating for them, you see.
It gets even funnier when you know the details of that history, especially how Israel directly funded and supported the rise of Hamas as the dominant faction to suppress the growing support of the PLO.
They literally created their own enemy and got all [shocked_pikachu.jpeg] when their whipping dog decided to finally bite back.
It's like Iraq and Afghanistan had war crimes but remember 9/11!!!1!
