WAC-MAAN signs a groundbreaking collective agreement for Palestinians at Mishor Adumim’s Zarfati garage
פורסם ב February 19, 2017 | No CommentsFor years, Palestinians toiling in the industrial zones of West Bank settlements have been subject to exploitation and denial of their rights. A collective agreement signed on February 14, 2017 proves that another way is possible. In this precedential step, the Zarfati Garage signed a collective agreement with WAC-MAAN which covers all 75 workers at the plant and compensates the Palestinians among them for the previous period, when their rights had been denied.
