Links to labor organizations in Israel

Here is a first collection of links to migrant labor organizations in Israel compiled and annotated by Kirsten Huckebeck.

• The Workers Advice Centre (WAC; Arabic: ma'an) provides legal, organizational, cultural and educational support for the many unorganized workers in Israel. WAC tries to help building self-conciousness and organizational processes for unorganized workers, including for example campaigns like "a job to win". WAC is open to any worker, although Arabs in particular suffer from lack of union representation. WAC has an own website, where you can get an overview about activities and self-understanding of WAC.

 

• The Hotline for Migrant Workers is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization (NGO), dedicated to promoting the basic civil and human rights of migrant workers and victims of human trafficking in Israel. The Hotline works using a four focus approach to advance its goals: direct intervention, legal action, policy making, and raising public awareness. Our work is based on the belief that Israel, as a democratic and Jewish country, should respect and protect the human rights of all those residing within it - citizens, residents and migrant workers alike.

• Kav LaOved (worker's hotline) is a non-profit Israeli NGO, dedicated to the protection of worker rights. Kav LaOved helps the most vulnerable in Israeli society: 250,000 Migrant workers (10% of Israeli workforce), Palestinians working in Israel and Jewish settlements, ethnic minority citizens, and people employed via sub-contractors.
