In response to the war on Gaza, the 100,000-strong International Alliance of App-Based Transport Workers has called a boycott of Chevron-owned gas stations. It shows how precarious workers can use solidarity action to hit firms who profit from apartheid.
Historically, the industrial working class has led countless actions in the interest of political solidarity. Now, faced with the sheer brutality of Israeli settler colonialism, app-based workers are taking the initiative in solidarity with Palestine. The International Alliance of App-Based Transport Workers (IAATW), representing over one hundred thousand drivers across twenty countries, has pledged to boycott Chevron-owned gas and petrol stations, including Texaco and Caltex. As a global federation of twenty-six grassroots driver and app-based transport-worker unions, the group has called a mass boycott of Chevron for its complicity in genocide.
