The General Union of UNRWA Staff has announced a decision to launch an open-ended hunger strike in protest of the Agency’s violations of workers’ rights.
The Union said in a statement that a general strike will be held as of December 2 to urge the Agency to cancel exceptional and unpaid leaves given under the pretext of funding deficit and to retroactively resume annual bonuses suspended since March.
They further urge UNRWA to create labor opportunities, recruit more Palestinian refugees, end temporary-work and day labor policy, pay November and December salaries, and implement the decisions of the Beirut Conference.
