Histadrut Launches a Social Market to Combat Rising Cost of Living for Israeli Workers
In response to the significant rise in the cost of living impacting Israeli workers, the Histadrut is proud to announce the launch of its innovative Social Market. This online platform offers members access to discounted essential goods delivered directly to their doorsteps.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Histadrut’s leadership has understood the need to strengthen workers’ purchase power in new ways. Following two years of extensive research and preparation, the Social Market represents the Histadrut’s commitment to expanding its fight for workers’ rights beyond traditional means. While advocating for fair wages remains a core focus, the Histadrut recognizes the critical role of purchasing power in ensuring a decent standard of living for its members.
The rising cost of living has placed a tremendous burden on Israeli workers. The Social Market is a way of directly addressing this challenge by offering significant discounts on everyday necessities. This initiative complements the traditional union work, creating a holistic approach to improving the lives of our members.
“Despite reports of exceptional profitability from some importers and manufacturers, prices in the food and consumer goods sectors continue to soar. The government is failing to curb the price hikes, and citizens are buckling under the burden. In the vacuum that has been created, the Histadrut is stepping in to help you [Histadrut members].”
Chairman of the Histadrut, Arnon Bar- David
