The UK teachers’ union NASUWT has voted to adopt a boycott policy targeting some goods and services associated with Israeli institutions and settlements, according to reports. The union, described as the UK’s second largest teaching union, resolves to boycott companies involved in activities or links connected to Israeli institutions and settlements. Multiple reports also say the union’s leadership decision overrides a position held by some members. One outlet frames the internal dispute by warning that the policy could affect Jewish teachers and colleagues, while other elements of the reporting focus on the union’s formal vote and the scope of the planned boycott. The reporting does not identify specific companies but indicates the policy is aimed at firms considered to be connected to Israeli settlements and related institutions. The decision comes amid wider debate in the UK about the use of boycotts in the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the impact of such measures on workplaces and school communities. The union’s next steps and any implementation timelines are not detailed in the cited reports.
