Druze Get Labor Status
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Histadrut's
central committee has decided to
grant Druze workers full status
within Israel's labor federation.
The decision will integrate the
60,000 Druze trade union members
on all levels and grant them their
own labor councils in their
villages, independent of the cen-
tral committee. Druze cooperatives
will be directly under Histadrut's
cooperative center and not under
the special Druze department as it
has been.

fall with that renewed look.
