Subject: Urgent Concerns of Sri Lankan Agricultural Workers in Israel
Dear Respected Officials,
I am writing to formally bring to your attention the challenges faced by Sri Lankan agricultural workers in Israel. As a worker contributing to Israel’s agricultural sector, I wish to highlight several urgent issues that require immediate resolution to ensure fair and humane treatment.
1. Accommodation Conditions: Many Sri Lankan workers, including myself, live in substandard housing. The accommodations provided are overcrowded and lack basic necessities, falling below acceptable living standards. We request immediate improvements to ensure dignity and well-being.
2. Low Wages: Some workers receive less than 35 shekels per hour, which is insufficient to sustain a decent livelihood. Given the physically demanding nature of agricultural labor, we urge fair wages that align with Israel’s labor laws and living costs.
3. Visa Renewal Delays: A significant number of workers face difficulties due to employers failing to renew visas on time. This leaves us at risk of becoming undocumented, causing unnecessary stress and legal complications. In my case, despite informing my employer three months prior to expiration, my visa has not yet been renewed. We request the authorities to establish a monitoring system to ensure timely renewals and protect workers from unintentional violations of immigration laws.
We appreciate the opportunity to work in Israel and contribute to its agricultural sector. However, addressing these concerns will strengthen labor relations and uphold fair employment practices. We kindly request urgent intervention and look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
