"I will not allow it to be a rich country with surplus incomes and poor citizens. The money must reach the citizens and workers of the State of Israel. There must be a policy that encourages growth and supports citizens, certainly in times of rising cost of living. Do not wait for us to take to the streets."

This is what the chairman of the Histadrut, Arnon Bar-David, said today (Thursday) at the 23rd Histadrut conference held at the Tel Aviv Exhibition

Center.

In the end, the role of the state is to take care of its citizens and not completely neglect the market forces, this is the essence of a state like Israel.

" Gilad Karib, Miri Regev, Avi Dichter, as well as the president of the business sector, Dovi Amitai, and the secretary general of the Teachers' Union, Yaffa Ben-David.

In his speech, the chairman of the Histadrut referred to political instability: "I know how to work with any government that is formed.

The Israeli public is fed up with the instability.

Repeated election campaigns undermine unity and create uncertainty.

The public in Israel understands more than ever that the most stable state body is the Histadrut.

We have led far-reaching reforms in the electricity company, Mekorot, seaports, the Bank of Israel, the fire brigade, the lifeguards, the social workers, the health system workers, the guard and cleaning workers, the assistants and education workers, the HMOs and we are currently completing reforms in Israel Railways.

Here I can announce that in Lili's negotiations yesterday, we signed a memorandum of understanding between the Histadrut and the Ministry of Finance and the Workers' Committee of the Israel Railways.

At the same time, we have a lot more work to do and a few key goals to continue: raising the minimum wage to NIS 6,000 a month, a goal signed and stuck in the never-ending debates between Knesset members, and a new framework agreement through which we will care for and promote the Israeli workers.

We must integrate the ultra-Orthodox society, Arab society, people with disabilities into the world of work, we must have more professional training, occupational diversity and a correct and healthier balance between work and leisure and family culture.

For this purpose, we will work to shorten the work week in Israel. "

Bar-David also referred to the role and importance of the Histadrut: "The Histadrut was established about 102 years ago. In many ways it is the one that built the country and it is the one that laid the foundations for the country on the way. To the box, a world where we lead and do not do the same thing. I said from the beginning of my career in the Histadrut that if we are living things, we will have to reinvent ourselves all the time.

We are here to continue building the country. I stand here today as chairman of the Histadrut The workers in Israel conveyed a decisive message of responsibility, leadership, statehood, determination, without fences around, a Histadrut that is open to all, without fear of waving new flags. The latest crazy we went through together.

"Look at what happened in the State of Israel during these years: four election campaigns and the fifth in our doorstep, three and a half years without a state budget, one corona epidemic and one 'wall guard' operation. The most responsible and powerful in the State of Israel. We have returned to the forefront of decision-makers in the State of Israel, no longer sitting in the back seats with tires, megaphones and wildcat strikes.

Amidst all the uncertainty, the Histadrut headed by me "We will continue to build the country. Stop playing with the Knesset with each other, and start leading the country forward."

According to the chairman of the Histadrut, "We have built together a political unity here from most of the factions that make up the politics of the Histadrut.

The unity we have created between all the tribes of Israel, regardless of religion, race and gender, within the home of the workers and pensioners in Israel proves that it is possible to live in this part of the Land of Israel together, in cooperation, without hatred, when there is a common denominator and goal - protection of workers and economy in Israel.

When I took office, a pile of laws against the Histadrut was waiting on my desk, and today I can tell you - there are no more legislative threats against workers and pensioners in Israel.

We are now in a different place, operating in all parties, no more a party that has a Histadrut and no more a Histadrut that has a party.

Those days are over. "

Changes the DNA of the Histadrut

Regarding the future of the Histadrut, Bar-David said that "I believe in the process of changing the DNA of the Histadrut. In the past I turned tables and today I try to sit around tables. The Israeli economy can be shut down in one phone call. At the same time I believe in dialogue And the employers in order to promote the economy and Israeli society together. The partnership with Dovi Amitai, Chairman of the Presidency of the Business Sector, and with Haim Bibbs, Chairman of the Local Government Center, proves itself every day. We will continue together with the Minister of Finance And with employers' organizations to push the Israeli economy forward.

"Together with Naamat, together with my friend Hagit Peer, the chairman of the Naamat team, we will continue to promote the status of women in the State of Israel and march Naamat as the leading and most important women's organization in the country.

Together we will encourage more women to reach senior positions and appointments.

I want to see more women lead workers' committees, and we will continue to fight for the future of early childhood education in the State of Israel.

We will continue, together with Shmulik Mizrahi, Chairman of the Pensioners' Federation, to represent and protect the country's retirees, their dignity, status and benefits.
