Welcome to TUFI’s new delegation blog!

You will now be able to follow us as we take a delegation of senior trade unionists around Israel and Palestine from 1-6 November 2009.

The trip will involve a full itinerary of briefings with sister unions, factory visits, a tour of the security fence/wall, and meetings with the Histadrut, the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions(PGFTU), government officials, ministers and others.

A trade union delegate will be posting on this blog each day, giving you an insight into their experiences and opinions. And we will also be posting photos and videos as the delegation progresses.

You will also be able to follow the TUFI delegation on the road with Twitter, and keep up-to-date with our RSS feed.

We look forward to reading your comments!
