    A shift from the exploitation of migrants toward exploitation of local Arabs through subcontractors and "manpower" companies

     

     

    The Workers Advice Center (WAC - Ma'an in Arabic) provides support for the many unorganized workers in Israel. WAC is open to any worker, although Arabs in particular suffer from lack of union representation. The problem has been especially severe since the early 1990's, when the forces of globalization became rampant.

    WAC is active in the areas of Galilee, Jaffa and East Jerusalem. WAC has also proved to be the only effective address for unemployed Arab workers who have been deprived of their benefits. Our main activities are as follows:
     

  • Providing legal advice and representation in court.
  • Defending unemployed Arab workers in Israel and East Jerusalem.
  • Conducting public campaigns to defend groups of workers.
  • Creating working-class awareness.
  • Reaching out to the public through the media.
  • Conducting social activities such as lectures, field trips and an annual summer camp for workers’ children.
