What can a global strike of dockworkers achieve for Gaza?

What happened: Dock and port workers in 22 countries across five continents are holding a strike on Friday, the International Day of Action of Dockworkers and Port Workers, also called "Dockworkers do not work for war." Key numbers: 110 ports, 25 trade unions, 22 countries, five continents. Why it matters: The unions' main demand is an immediate end to the genocide of the Palestinian people and all imperialist wars. Organisers said the action is expected to be "historic" in scale, and NHG said all 56 ports it tracked for Elbit Systems shipments are expected to strike.
