Organizations/movement: Palestine Arab Workers’ Society (PAWS). Action: Workers, especially in the railway sector, organized an independent Arab labour body in Haifa after seeking official approval. Result: PAWS was formally announced and became a durable centre of Arab trade unionism. Impact / interpretation: Labour organization connected livelihood, employment discrimination and national rights. It offered a social base distinct from elite political leadership, although workers’ organizations later faced factional competition and colonial restrictions.
