Herzog and Livni say they will pass new minimum wage during current session
Labor Chairman Isaac Herzog and Hatnua Chairwoman Tzipi Livni issued a joint statement on Thursday after Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein prevented Netanyahu from raising the minumum wage right before the elections: “Labor Secretary Eitan Cabel, will immediately approach all Knesset factions in order to promote legislation that will allow the minimum wage to be raised immediately, during this present session.”
“In contrast to Prime Minister Netanyahu, who all of a sudden realized he was social before the elections after the wages eroded dramatically during his tenure, we will lead a democratic process to raise the minimum wage.”
