Unions file ILO complaint over Israel's treatment of Palestinian workers since Gaza war
trade unions filed a complaint on Friday against Israel with the International Labour Organization, alleging that its treatment of Palestinian workers since the Gaza war began had breached a global treaty.
Criticism of Israel's treatment of Palestinian workers, under scrutiny for decades, has increased at the Geneva-based U.N. labour body since the war started on Oct. 7.
The complaint summarised in a statement sent to journalists focuses on Israel's exclusion of some 200,000 Palestinian migrant workers, which Israel justifies on security grounds. It claims unpaid wages and other compensation for them and other Palestinian workers which the unions say could amount to billions of dollars.
«The sudden unemployment of Palestinians working in Israel has left hundreds of thousands destitute,» said Stephen Cotton, general secretary of the London-based International Transport Workers' Federation, one of the unions that signed the complaint.
«Israel must comply with its international legal obligations and ensure these workers receive their owed wages immediately,» Cotton said.
