New Delhi, Major Indian trade unions have called on the government to terminate a labor agreement with Israel that involves the replacement of Palestinian construction workers with Indian workers.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), and others released a statement condemning the agreement. They criticized it as immoral and a commodification of Indian workers. The statement comes in the wake of Israel revoking work permits of Palestinian workers following the 7 October attacks and imposing a siege on the Gaza Strip.
