Dispute Resolution & Advocacy (Human Rights)

This department includes lawyers and union professionals who serve as pro bono advocates for workers engaged in labor disputes. Members meet with workers and management representatives, and seek to facilitate a negotiated solution that respects workers’ rights and is acceptable to both sides.

The department helped negotiate an agreement to end a strike by Bethlehem municipal workers, and has also aided workers in disputes with numerous local companies. In addition, department members are active in lobbying for the Palestinian Legislative Council to pass new labor legislation that reflects the interests of workers, and in pressing the Palestinian Authority for fu

ll implementation of the existing labor legislation passed in 2000.
