Trades Unions campaign


Sadaka is an active member of the Trade Union Friends of Palestine.  Our role is to work alongside the trade unions in supporting the implementation of their motions and commitments where possible.

Sadaka also uses every opportunity to draw attention to the excellent work being carried out by trade union movement in Ireland and also highlights the growing support for the BDS campaign on an international level.
