Predictably, agricultural employers want to own their foreign workers, resist a new model that gives workers the right to move to a better employer.
Imagine employers in other industries asking for a law preventing workers from changing jobs.

“Ending tied employment today doesn’t cure the harm it has caused to generations of workers over the past 50-plus years. But at a bare minimum, it stops perpetuating that harm,” says @LouisCentury aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/9/… via @AJEnglish

UNRWA lifesaving assistance is about to end following countries decisions to cut their funding to the Agency.
Our humanitarian operation, on which 2 million people depend as a lifeline in Gaza, is collapsing. I am shocked such decisions are taken based on alleged behavior of a few individuals and as the war continues, needs are deepening & famine looms.
Palestinians in Gaza did not need this additional collective punishment. This stains all of us.
