Course description
The Workers' Rights Clinical Program
In the past decades, the share of unionized workers in the Israeli workforce has decreased dramatically, as did the working conditions of many workers. The Clinic works to improve the situations of workers in Israel, especially vulnerable workers, through litigation and organization. Students are exposed to a wide range of tools to protect workers’ rights: litigation in the labor courts (preparing draft motions, accompanying the litigating lawyer to court etc.); advising workers seeking to unionize for the first time; suggesting statutory amendments and drafting bills to be promoted by interested members of Knesset, in collaboration with other civil society groups.
