Annual General Assembly of WAC-MAAN

Saturday, 15.6.2013, at Minshar School of the Arts in Tel-Aviv, at 11.00 am. No. 18, Chachami St., Tel-Aviv

WAC-MAAN’s General Assembly for 2013 will take place on Sat. 15.6. Representatives from existing workers’ committees will attend, as well as persons involved in new organizing initiatives to form such committees. The versatile group organized within WAC-MAAN represents its progressive social and political orientation, making it a leading factor in the struggle for social justice, equality and peace.

While the Histadrut separates issues of wages and labor rights from the wider social and political context, turning a blind eye as employers and the government smash the rights of certain sectors, WAC-MAAN carries a vision of solidarity among workers beyond national and sectorial borders.

The program of the General Assembly:

An introductory note by Asma Aghbarieh Zahalka – leader of WAC-MAAN
WAC-MAAN as a leading player for social change: Introduction by WAC MAAN National Coordinator Assaf Adiv

Petition to High Court of Justice: The secretive and unimpeded entry of migrant workers, will lead to extreme exploitation and severely harm Palestinian workers and the Israeli labor market.

MAAN joined other groups in filing a petition to the High Court of Justice against the Israeli government, demanding that authorities be held accountable to prevent the extreme exploitation of migrant workers, which could reach conditions of actual slavery. The petition, filed July 18th warns of the destructive impact of massive and unregulated importation of workers on the overall Israeli labor market, the severe harm to Palestinian workers’ ability to earn a living, and the expected damage to the Palestinian economy and regional security. The petitioners accuse the government of making these fateful decisions in secrecy.

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.

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."
