Using a comprehensive analysis of the wave of organizing that swept
the country starting in 2007, Labor in Israel investigates the
changing political status of organized labor in the context of
changes to Israel's political economy, including liberalization,
the rise of non-union labor organizations, the influx of migrant
labor, and Israel's complex relations with the Palestinians.
Through his discussion of organized labor's relationship to the
political community and its nationalist political role, Preminger
demonstrates that organized labor has lost the powerful status it
enjoyed for much of Israel's history. Despite the weakening of
trade unions and the Histadrut, however, he shows the ways in which
the fragmentation of labor representation has created opportunities
for those previously excluded from the labor movement regime.
Organized labor is now trying to renegotiate its place in
contemporary Israel, a society that no longer accepts labor's
longstanding claim to be the representative of the people. As such,
Preminger concludes that organized labor in Israel is in a
transitional and unsettled phase in which new marginal initiatives,
new organizations, and new alliances that have blurred the
boundaries of the sphere of labor have not yet consolidated into
clear structures of representation or accepted patterns of
political interaction.
