An original play, ‘Red Shoes’, was the endnote to a conference organised by WAC-MAAN Workers Union in Kufr Qara in Northern Israel, attended by hundreds of Arab construction workers. The unprecedented conference gave voice to the union’s demands for change in safety procedures at construction sites. Speakers warned of a sharp rise in fatalities in the first half of 2014, as well as thousands of permanent disabilities as a result of preventable accidents.
