New Seasons Labor Union stands completely behind the Palestinian people. The ongoing killing in Gaza and the surrounding area has extinguished the lives of 13,000 human beings since October 7th. 90% of those killed are Palestinian. NSLU solemnly joins ranks with countless workers and organizations across the labor movement in demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. We also know that actions speak louder than words.

This resolution was passed unanimously after amendment at the November 2nd 2023 all-store meeting. NSLU normally publishes motion and resolution texts only in the meeting minutes of these meetings, but this resolution is of special importance to current events and is here published as it was adopted by the membership:

WHEREAS, as people of conscience we mourn the loss of life everywhere, regardless of nationality;

To all those who helped us sign, collect, and deliver hundreds of signatures at the seven affected union stores, thank you so much for your time and effort. Collective actions like these are the cornerstone of NSLU and will continue to be our source of strength as we fight our way towards a strong first contract.

The following statement was adopted by the assembled membership on Thursday, June 1st 2023.
