I applaud this book for its case studies of organizing and NGO activities and the analysis of the limits of those activities, as well as the author's point about the increasingly individualistic and legalistic nature of labor actions. Most importantly, the central point that citizen and labor interests no longer align in Israel and the many illustrations of that point are valuable and appreciated. -- Harry C. Katz, Jack Sheinkman Professor of Collective Bargaining at Cornell University Labor in Israel performs an important service in reporting case studies and contextual data, based on a comprehensive analysis of about thirty interviews, mass media sources, and secondary literature, doing much to fill this informational gap. It also goes beyond mere description by providing a conceptual framework that justifies a multidimensional view of unions and quasi-union organizations that helps organize the book. And it utilizes concepts and frequently borrows insights from relevant international literature. -- Michael Shalev, Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Political Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
