Have you ever felt that your supervisor treated you like a piece of trash? Intisar (not her real name) experienced this situation over and over again. She is a Palestinian who worked in a factory located in the outskirts of Jerusalem since August 1, 2023.
Three complaints were filed early August against an Israeli lawyer from Be’er Sheva, alleging that he illegally charged Palestinian workers from the West Bank thousands of shekels and traded work permits in Israel.
Following her marriage, Wafa Bwirat, 34, from the village Fureidis moved to the small village of Bwirat, nearby. She graduated high school with honors, and wanted to continue studying but had to contribute to the family’s household. In 2008 she worked at a large packing house through a subcontractor, who would skim off a substantial percent of her salary.
When the Zarfati garage became wary of the workers’ committee chairperson, they simply framed him using nationalist claims. They brought in the Civil Administration and the police, then sent him to military court.

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.
