Jaida was invited by Fundacion Pau I Solidaritat –CCOO, and took part in several meetings as well as the main march of FPS-CCOO. For the event this year FPS initiated a film featuring stories of women and employment from the Balkans, Latin America, Egypt and Israel. The Israeli 10 minute film, called “Its Your Last Day at Work” and produced for WAC by Video 48, focuses on Arab female agricultural workers who suffer from the scarcity of work and its unstable and seasonal nature. The film project was financed by the ACCD (Catalan Agency For Development).

In the different meetings Jaida talked about the empowerment Arab women go through with WAC, as they change their role in society from passive to active women. The employment project of WAC aims to get more and more women into the work cycle in order to reduce poverty and empower them in society. So far WAC has integrated thousands of women in jobs.

Instead of Showy Arrests, Let Palestinian Workers Return to Construction

The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, which came into effect on Wednesday, November 27, marks the end of the war in Lebanon. If it holds, a period of reconstruction will begin, bringing a dramatic increase in the need for workers in the construction sector. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Palestinians are waiting for the government to allow them back into construction sites in Israel.

The sector employs these workers each year to pick tens of thousands of tons of olives from September to December, in groves stretching from the Negev to the Upper Galilee.

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."
