In Palestinian East Jerusalem the National Insurance Institute obstructs claims for income-security benefits, while the Employment Bureau turns a cold shoulder to jobseekers

A new report by the WAC-MAAN Trade Union reveals that the East Jerusalem branches of the National Insurance Institute (NII = Bituach Leumi) and the Employment Bureau (EB) behave contrary to protocol in all that pertains to receiving claims, documents, and job requests.

Exploitation of migrant labor, unemployment in Arab villages… Who cares?

The Nov. 28 session of the Knesset Committee on Foreign Workers was intended to debate putting an end to the import of migrant labor for construction and agriculture, and encouraging Israeli workers in these sectors.

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."
