Protesters chanted “Genocide starts with weapons parts”, outside Nupress on December 4. The company makes parts for F35s, the fighter jets Israel is using in its genocide in Gaza.
Spokesperson Regan Dubois said: “We have spent a year watching things we never thought could happen.
“The other day I saw an exhausted Palestinian rescue worker explaining that the dozens of children flattened in an apartment block wouldn’t count among the official death toll because their bodies could never be retrieved.
“Having a factory here supplying the planes that cause that destruction is really concerning.
“Our message to Nupress is clear: We’ll stop protesting and picketing when you stop making parts for weapons.”
He added that Nupress could do “plenty of positive things” in the areas of medical technology, green energy and infrastructure. That would mean it would not be breaching international human rights law, and workers would not have their involvement in the weapons industry “weighing on their conscience”.
The group plans to keep picketing Nupress until it stops making parts for F35s.
