Organised labour in Israel is currently in full swing. Many workers from all industries and across the country continue to join us, recognising that our collective voice is our greatest strength.
In an ever-changing economic landscape, the Histadrut remains the ultimate anchor for the workers in Israel. proving day after day that when workers stand together, they shape the future of the entire nation. From public servants to service industry employees, Hi-tech workers and even the self-employed, we are expanding our ranks to ensure that no worker is left to stand alone against corporate or systemic pressures.
Beyond the bargaining table, the Histadrut is a vibrant social ecosystem. Through our educational networks, cultural centres, senior living facilities, and specialised forums, we accompany our members through every stage of life.
