Palestinian workers in Sol Or’s Gas factory are on strike in an attempt to enforce their legal OH&S rights and to receive the legal minimum wage. Three workers have died from cancer after working at the factory for 10 years and another 3 have died from gas explosions. Although it is their legal entitlement, workers are not provided protective clothing, masks or the necessary regular health checks, and do not have health insurance. The factory owners are able to escape safety inspections because the factory lies in the Israeli controlled West Bank. Read the full report here.
