Migrant workers employed in the Israeli agricultural sector face frequent violations of their rights. Kav LaOved – Workers' Hotline's report indicates that agricultural workers earn on average only 70% of the minimum wage, and their basic rights are being violated regularly. Many workers are required to live in substandard accommodations such as iron containers, leaking in the winter and steaming in the summer, improvised tin buildings or even old chicken coops, and work long hours, well beyond the laws limitations. Many workers use pesticides and chemicals without having adequate protection supplied to them. Additionally, they do not have access to health services, in part because of the isolated location of the farms and the lack of a common language for communication. These terms of employment and almost total dependence on the employer creates a lack of appropriate supervision or effective enforcement by the authorities. All these constitute a fertile ground for maintaining the offensive employment of agricultural workers in Israel.
