In a statement released by the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union the union condemns the attack on aid ships launched by the Israeli state.
The union says the attack is nothing less than an act of international piracy.
The ships were carrying aid to the beleaguered people of Gaza.
“This attack and Israel’s continued closure of the border has worsened the appalling conditions that those who live in Gaza are forced to endure,” says the statement.
The union calls for an escalation of the boycott of Israeli goods and call upon other trade unions not to handle them.
“We call upon our members not to allow any Israeli ship to dock or unload in any South African port,” added the statement.
It also welcomes the worldwide condemnation.
