Overwhelming support for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
UCU debated 5 motions on Palestine at its Congress and passed them
all overwhelmingly. One motion was ruled invalid. This was not because
the union leadership wanted to frustrate Congess but because they were
under a well organised and funded legal attack by boycott opponents
(and, by implication, massacre apologists). The Union is committed
to encouragoing discussion of the BDS call in branches and to an calling
an international trade union conference on the implementation of BDS
