The Histadrut, Israel's labor federation, has entered the dispute over the Zim shipping company's deal, threatening to take action to protect workers' rights and future. The organization sent a letter to Zim's leadership stating, "The Histadrut will act by all means at its disposal to protect the rights of the workers and their future." This marks the first time the national labor organization has publicly joined the struggle, after the workers' committee had previously led the opposition to the deal. The Histadrut is demanding the workers' involvement in the new framework for the deal, asserting that "decisions cannot be made in the dark."
