In accordance with the Joint Industry Board`s (JIB) electrical agreement and the BESA (for heating and ventilation engineers) agreements to which NG Bailey complies, such changes must be agreed with the relevant union, unite, in the way workers are paid. The agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel has already achieved an important achievement. It has been largely neglected, perhaps because it is what did not happen and not what happened. Even when an El-Al plane flew over Saudi Arabia and a host of Israeli officials, businessmen and investors were transported to the UAE to promote a hot room, there were no consequences in the Arab world. Amman, Beirut, Tunis, Algiers and Rabat, where protests against the Israeli „occupation,“ al-Aqsa `desecration` and other accusations against Israel in general are silent, at least at street level. The potential impact of the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates has been the result of an in-depth analysis. Some have rightly noted that, although this is the third peace treaty signed by Israel with an Arab state, it is the first to contain the promise of a warm peace. This is in stark contrast to Israel`s relations with the former partners of Egypt and Jordan, which are limited to very close personal, diplomatic and security relations. With Egypt, the peace treaty has rarely reached this threshold. These agreements apply with the Unite union (for companies paid every hour) and its EESA employee service (for employees). The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), which represents employers in the sector, has agreed with the Unite union to increase rates by 2.5% per hour from October 2018, followed by a further increase of 2.75% from October 2019. The social benefits that will come into force from 3 October 2016 are in phase 1 in the 2016-2020 biphasic four-year operational wage agreement: employers request for the application, interpretation or implementation of the agreement to each member of the BESA Employment and Qualifications team, e-mail: employmentaffairs@thebesa.com; or by telephone one of the department`s staff relations advisors.
To the surprise of the Iranian and Palestinian leaders, Arab public opinion has not protested against the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates – but they continue to protest against Iran`s interference in Iraqi and Lebanese affairs.
