Arnon Bar-David: I will not allow any party to harm the workers

Following the proposal of the Chairman of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, MK Simcha Rothman, to limit the right to strike, the Chairman of the Histadrut, Arnon Bar-David, said: “It will not happen. This proposal is another attempt by extremist elements to weaken the status of workers in the State of Israel and to erode one of the fundamental social-economic rights of democracy. Exercising the right to strike is one of the main tools to protect the most vulnerable populations in the economy, and I will not allow any party to harm the workers. I knew how to stand up to this absurd threat in the past, and I propose not to try us this time.”
