Power to the Workers (P2W)
Power to the Workers (P2W) is the first democratic labor union in Israel. It is a general union, representing around 35,000 employees in various economic sectors, including childcare workers, bus drivers, college teachers, educators for youth at risk, counselors and social workers in privatized social services, employees of municipal organizations and more.
P2W was established in 2007, after a dramatic decline in Israeli organized labor, from 80% to less than 25%, and widespread privatization and defunding of the State’s welfare system. These processes led to a rise in poverty, socio-economic disparity, lowered social resilience, and political instability, particularly hitting at Israel’s underprivileged populations. Koach LaOvdim succeeded in regenerating a renewed momentum of organized labor in Israel, reversed the trend and raised the number of unionized workers, changing the face of the Israeli labor market and its labor relations.
P2W practices intensive ground work and cutting-edge organizing techniques and participatory practices, strengthening social ties and solidarity between workers.
