Abstract: Labor in Israel is mostly organized into the General Federation of Jewish Labor in Israel (Histadrut), a general union in membership and func tions. It includes all kinds of workers and their families and has trade union functions, mutual aid and social functions, and economic activities. It tries to satisfy all physical, cultural, and spiritual needs of its members. Its ideology is a synthesis of Zionist nationalism and socialism. The author describes the struc ture and organization of the Histadrut and considers what appear to be the basic problems facing the federation in its future development, problems arising from the very size and complex nature of the organization.—Ed.
