I intend to add the below changes to the Palestine Arab Workers Society article. I will expand a little bit on some of the original sentences as shown as well as adding additional information.If anyone would like to comment on any of these changes, please let me know through this talk page or my own talk page. Thank you.

The Palestine Arab Workers Society was one of the two main Arab labor organizations in the British Mandate of Palestine along with the Federation of the Arab Trade Unions (FATU). It was founded in 1925, with its headquarters in Haifa, making it the oldest union in Palestine. The union was founded by railway workers that were previously active in the Palestine Communist Party, looking for an “exclusively Arab organization”. After the land sales to Zionists became a problem of a national scale, PAWS leaders began to speak on behalf of the Palestinian people, playing large roles in many of the strikes in the 1939 revolt.
