HaHistadrut HaKlalit shel HaOvdim B'Eretz Yisrael ((ヘブライ語:ההסתדרות הכללית של העובדים בארץ ישראל), ''lit.'' "General Organisation of Workers in the Land of Israel"), known as the Histadrut, is Israel's organization of trade unions. Established in December 1920 during the British Mandate for Palestine, it became one of the most powerful institutions of Israel. Histadrut enterprises include: (Koor Industries Ltd. ), Solel Boneh, and Kupat Holim Clalit.〔(Histadrut Koor Inustrial Holdings )〕 ==History== The Histadrut was founded in December 1920 in Haifa to look out for the interests of Jewish workers. Until 1920, Ahdut HaAvoda and Hapoel Hatzair had been unable to set up a unified workers organisation.〔''The Birth of Israel, 1945–1949: Ben-Gurion and His Critics'', Joseph Heller, p. 7〕 In 1920, Third Aliyah immigrants founded Gdud HaAvoda and demanded a unified organization for all Jewish workers, which led to the establishment of the Histadrut.〔Z. Tzahor, "The Histadrut", in ''Essential papers on Zionism'', 1996, Reinharz & Shapira (eds.) ISBN 0-8147-7449-0〕 At the end of 1921 David Ben-Gurion was elected as Secretary.〔Lokman, Zachary. ''Comrades and Enemies—Arab and Jewish Workers in Palestine 1906–1948''. University of California Press. 1996. ISBN 0-520-20259-7.〕 Membership grew from 4,400 in 1920 and to 8,394 members in 1922. By 1927, the Histadrut had 25,000 members, accounting for 75% of the Jewish workforce in Mandatory Palestine. The Histadrut became one of the most powerful institutions in the state of Israel, a mainstay of the Labour Zionist movement and, aside from being a trade union, its state-building role made it the owner of a number of businesses and factories and, for a time, the largest employer in the country. Until Israel began moving away from a socialist economy, the Histadrut, along with the government, owned most of the economy. In particular, the Israeli services sector was completely dominated by the Histadrut and government, and the Histadrut also largely dominated public transport, agriculture, and insurance industries. The Histadrut and government also owned a significant portion of Israel's industrial sector.〔(The Economy - 1948-72 )〕〔(Column One: Israel: The happy little country )〕 Membership in 1983 was 1,600,000 (including dependants), accounting for more than one-third of the total population of Israel and about 85% of all wage earners. About 170,000 Histadrut members were Arabs (who were admitted to membership starting in 1959). In 1989, the Histadrut was the employer of approximately 280,000 workers. With the increasing liberalization and deregulation of the Israeli economy since the 1980s, the role and size of Histradrut has declined, though it still remains a powerful force in Israeli society and the nation's economy. Following its support of the 2011 Israeli social justice protests, on February 8, 2012, Histadrut called a general strike in support of lower paid subcontracted, and unorganized workers, negotiating with both the government and private employers on their behalf, demanding that the subcontracted workers by hired directly and be offered the pay and benefits granted to regular employees. A settlement was announced on Sunday, February 12, which provided for some gains by the subcontractors, but also for a 3 year moratorium on further strikes over subcontractor issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Histadrut」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
