Workers at Israeli-owned New York bakery demand end to company 'support for genocide'

Workers at Breads Bakery, an Israeli-owned chain in New York City, have announced their unionization with UAW Local 2179. A primary demand of the union is for the company to end its support for Israel's actions in Palestine, which they describe as a genocide. The union organizers have refused to bake items with the Israeli flag or cater events for organizations that donate to the Israeli military. This action follows previous fundraising efforts by the bakery for Israeli organizations. The workers state their struggle for fair pay and safety is connected to global struggles against exploitation.
