Federal employees in about 20 US agencies and departments plan to stop working next Tuesday in protest against the way the administration of US President Joe Biden is handling the Israeli war in Gaza, according to the independent Al-Monitor website.
A group calling itself the "United Federal Union for Peace" consists of dozens of government employees who will go on strike on a day they called the "day of mourning" for the 100th day since the Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip. Those organizing the event expected hundreds to join the strike.
One of the strike organizers said that their initiative “came from a collective desire to do everything possible to influence the Biden administration’s policy on this issue,” according to the website.
