Histadrut

The Histadrut is Israel’s national trade union federation, founded in 1920 to represent and protect workers' rights across various industries. It functions as a collective organization that negotiates wages, working conditions, and benefits, while also providing social services like health care and housing. Historically, the Histadrut played a significant role in Israel’s economic development and labor movement, often owning and managing businesses. Today, it continues to advocate for workers, focusing on improving employment standards and social welfare, while adapting to modern economic challenges within a diverse and dynamic labor market.
