Over 4,000 Palestinian workers who are employed by the UN Relief and Works Agency have been on strike for two months now. The workers want a pay rise to bring them in line with other UN workers and the end to the ban on employing any person who has been imprisoned in Israel. Meanwhile, while workers are battling for a living wage, a layer of Palestinian capitalists are able to profit from the Occupation. The protests by Palestinian prisoners are ongoing.
