Palestine\u2019s postal, communication and IT workers\u2019 unions unite in a federation to strengthen their bargaining power with employers and the government<\/b><\/p>\n

Ramallah, Palestine \u2013 On 23\/08\/2016, four unions representing Palestinian postal service, communication and information technology workers held the establishing conference of the first Palestinian federation that gathers workers in this sector, which they named the Communication Workers\u2019 Union \u2013 Palestine (CWU-PS). The birth of CWU-PS is the result of great efforts to unite trade unions in this sector on the basis of their common interests, while they had been previously divided by their affiliations to different general federations of trade unions (General Federation of Independent Trade Unions \u2013 Palestine (GFITUP) or the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU)) or lack thereof.<\/p>\n

In his first statement, the secretary of CWU-PS, Imad Temeiza, said that CWU-PS takes its roots in democratic, independent and effective unionism, and that its formation is the fruit of a dialogue engaged between trade unions in this sector in order to strengthen workers\u2019 bargaining power by uniting them in one representative body. According to Temeiza, CWU-PS aims at improving working conditions and workers\u2019 status, reinforcing their struggles for their rights, stopping privatization efforts and the adoption of any legislation harmful to workers\u2019 interests, participating in the management of social security funds and the elaboration of labor laws and policies. It also seeks to play a role in the advancement of Palestinian human rights in general alongside other civil society forces in the absence of a Palestinian Legislative Council and in view of Israel\u2019s continued violations of the rights of the Palestinian people, which have dire consequences for workers and the businesses that provide them with a livelihood. Imad Temeiza added that CWU-PS has an international policy and will reach out to its sisters and brothers in global and foreign unions\u00a0 to inform them about recent developments, stressing that workers in their sector have many demands and rights that they wish to achieve.<\/p>\n

CWU-PS members elected Mohammed Al-Badri, the president of the Jawwal Cellular Company Employees\u2019 Union,\u00a0 as its general secretary, Imad Temeiza, the president of the Palestinian Postal Service Workers\u2019 Union, as secretary, Feras Ziad, president of Hadara Technologies Company Employees\u2019 Union as deputy general secretary, Nour Khatib, the president of Pal media Employees\u2019 Union as deputy secretary, and Yazeed Al-Rimawi, from the Jawwal employees union as its treasurer.<\/b><\/p>\n
