Parliamentary aides in Israel, as in other countries, often work long hours for little pay.  This week, aides to members of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, announced that they had formed a trade union affiliated to the Histadrut, the country’s national trade union centre, and were keen to open negotiations with their employer over terms and conditions of employment.  The full story is on the website of the Jerusalem Post (in English) and the Marker (in Hebrew).
