1. Israeli preference at work
Avi L.   (10.07.14)
It's a drop in the sea of nearly twenty years of social dumping where business practices, governement and Histadrut (1) indiference (to say the least) did everything possible to break Israeli's workforce. More and more foreign workers dumped into the "work market" (people market), lowering wages and stealing the state of resources (work taxes), forcing Israeli citizens out of the "work market" unless they accept to work for a third world pitance, without legal benefits. To stop poverty start giving work to Israeli citizens at legal and worthy wages, restoring confidence in themselves and paying taxes. But too many interests are at stake for anything to change, i.e. cheap labor. It's easier to hand out some alms and tie the recipients to this or that political figure. Socially israeli society is looking more and more like an arab one. The question is very simple "do we want this?" (1) http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4577350,00.html
