  Migrant workers
This month’s newsletter opens with our project report on migrant farm workers (who are mostly Thai). We accompany this report with stories on how the state, employers and brokers, and even trade unions reach into migrant workers’ pockets. Indeed, the State Comptroller affirms the State’s systematic failure to protect migrant farm workers. It is not surprising then, that even the typically docile and submissive Thai migrant workers eventually go on strike.

This newsletter also brings an analysis of the recent failed attempt by the State to set up an unemployed migrant caregivers database, and of Israel’s violation of migrant workers’ right to form families.
  Palestinian workers
As part of our ongoing documentation of the violations of the rights of Palestinian workers employed in Israel and in the settlements, we bring an analysis of Israeli industrialists' reaction to the Palestinian boycott on settlement products, a report on work safety in a toy factory, and a recent court case that recognized an Israeli employer's liability to workers employed through a Palestinian labor contractor.
  Israeli workers
The “working poor” is a fast growing group in the Israeli labor market. To understand this phenomenon, we bring an analysis showing how workers are forced to settle for minimum wage jobs.
