Chinese workers in Israel sign no-sex contract
The Guardian, Wednesday 24 December 2003 10.42 GMT
Chinese workers at a company in Israel have been forced to agree not to have
sex with or marry Israelis as a condition of getting a job.
According to a contact they are required to sign, male workers may not have
any contact with Israeli women - including prostitutes, a police spokesman,
Rafi Yaffe, said.
He said there was nothing illegal about the requirement and that no
investigation had been opened.
An Israeli lawyer who did not want to be named said while the contract might
appear legal, it would be rejected if challenged in court. "The point is
that a Chinese worker will agree to anything and then will not have anyone
to help them if there is a problem," he said.
The labourers are also forbidden from engaging in any religious or political
activity. The contract states that offenders will be sent back to China at
their own expense.
About 260,000 foreigners work in Israel, having replaced Palestinian
labourers during three years of fighting. When the government first allowed
the entrance of the foreign workers in the late 1990s, ministers warned of a
"social timebomb" caused by their assimilation with Israelis.
More than half the workers are in the country illegally. Israeli police have
increased efforts to deport those working without permits because of rising
Israeli unemployment, which has reached 11% in recent months.
Advocates of foreign workers, who also come from Thailand, the Philippines
and Romania, say they are subject to almost slave conditions, and their
employers often take away their passports and refuse to pay them.
Analysts say there is much division within Israeli society over immigration
and status, although the conflict with the Palestinians has given it an
appearance of unity. Recent immigrants such as Russians and Ethiopians are
disliked by older immigrants, and there is much resentment among secular
Israelis at the privileges given to ultra-orthodox Jews. The foreign workers
are at the bottom of the pile. |
