Workers of the Ta’aman food company at Mishor Adumim in the occupied West Bank have been on strike since Sunday, Dec 5, 2021. On Dec 6, they also held a solidarity meeting at Almog Junction near Jericho with the participation of the MAAN Workers Association that represents them.
On Sunday, March 7, MAAN-Workers Association, signed a collective agreement with the Rajwan Food Production Company (the company’s official name – RS Food Import and Production Ltd.). The trade union has signed two previous agreements in Area C. This third agreement in a company that emloys mainly Palestinian workers is different as it is the first collective agreement signed a company inside Israel that works under the regualations of the Payment Authoruty.
The labor union MAAN has demanded that Tamar Tov, a date-packing company, stop threatening its Palestinian workers and start negotiations to secure their rights. The workers of the Israeli company joined MAAN after a year of earning only NIS 12 per hour – less than half the legal minimum wage—and without pay-slips.

As an organization committed to the rights of workers without distinction of religion, race, nationality, gender, or profession - democracy is our essence. We strongly oppose the authoritarian laws that the extreme government of Netanyahu, Lapid, Bennett, and Smotrich is attempting to impose.
Without democracy, there are no workers' rights, just as a workers' organization cannot exist under dictatorship.
only a victory of the democratic camp will enable a discussion on the Palestinian issue and lead to an alternative solution to occupation and apartheid while ensuring human rights and citizenship for all, Israelis and Palestinians alike. As long as the apartheid regime persists, the democratic camp will not succeed in defeating Israeli extremists. Therefore, we work to involve the Arab and Palestinian society in the protest.
We invite you:
To march with us in protests and to build an alternative, democratic, Jewish-Arab professional union in Israel. Join our quiet WhatsApp group today, "Marching with us in protest."
Please write your full name, phone number, and a brief description of the subject of your inquiry, and a representative from our organization will get back to you as soon as possible.
