Britain's Trade Unions Congress (TUC) called Tuesday for a boycott of goods produced in Israeli settlements. A TUC meeting in the northern city of Manchester agreed to contact supermarkets and other retailers urging them to stop selling goods produced in the settlements, including herbs and beauty products, dpa reported. Paul Kenny, general secretary of the GMB union, said unions should do more to help Palestinians than simply making speeches and agreeing conference resolutions. The TUC adopted similar tactics in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa.
