MK Simcha Rothman on Tuesday introduced new legislation that would limit union rights in Israel, such as repealing the requirement for all employees in a given workplace to join a union if just a third of other employees are members, as well as limiting the right for workers to strike, Walla reported.
Acting Histadrut chairman Arnon Bar-David slammed this bill as an "attempt by extremist elements to weaken the status of workers in Israel and erode one of the fundamental socio-economic rights of democracy."
This is a developing story.
