pay for vacations, courses, religious holidays, overtime, transportation, missing hours, beit avra, charging 150 or 300 shekels for a work jacket, seniority pay, time spent in courses and the list goes on? It is here in Afula and they have been getting away with all the above for years. We need prison time for stealing from the workers. It is the same as robbing a bank, but more money is involved.
2. now separate religion from state...

for too long the religious loons have been saying the restrictive sabbath laws shield workers from abuse. Now with a more robust labor law enforcement in place, we can do away with superstitious, medieval laws causing businesses to close on Saturday and Friday afternoon!

before enlisting. He is a very skilled tradesman. He took ill and his boss refused to pay him his sick leave. Had his boss tried to do this shit in Quebec he would have had his ass creamed by the government. In Israel the boss gets a pass. We Jews have been the n"""gs of the world for the past 2000 years. I see things are not that much different in Israel. Sad...
4. Labor should not be free

The most common complaint I've heard in this country is that employers find ways to have their employees work for free. Hopefully the new hotline will help eliminate the problem. THAT is the cancer.
5. Only in Israel: A law to enfore the law!

Israel is like Iran. The country is being run by lunatics!
