There's nothing to it

rime Minister Rabin's re-
cent reported comparison
of the trade unions to the
Islamic terrorist organi-
zations has poured fuel on the
fire lit earlier by the trade
unions' declaration of a labor
dispute. The prime minister's
statement, whether he made it
or not, reflected a basic truth in
his attitude, and that of other
party ministers and MKs, to-
ward labor: The country would
be better off without strong
unions.
Histadrut and union leaders
are fuming.
"This time he really went too
far," says Herut workers' union
chairman Yigal Greenstein.
"Rabin treats the Histadrut as
his own punching bag." Union
leaders are all the more in-
censed when they recall how
they, with the Histadrut appa-
ratus, had catapulted Mr. Ra-
bin into power, first in party
primaries and then in the Knes-
set election.
"We voted Rabin into power
and we can vote him out again,"
says another union chairman,
who asked not to be named.
It's inevitable, union leaders
say, the Histadrut and govern-
ment are heading for a collision.
They have reached an impasse
on several issues that are cm-
cial for the labor federation, and
now there is the threat of a
strike over the privatization of
government corporations.
Those who had hoped for
good relations with a Labor gov-

ernment have been sorely dis-
illusioned. Relations are much
worse than they ever were in
the days of Likud-led govern-
ments, which maintained a del-
icate balance with the
federation. Mr. Rabin has
never concealed his animosity
toward the Histadrut or his
free-market leanings.
With the country on the
verge of peace, a new economic
era is dawning, believe Mr. Ra-
bin and such "yuppie" Laborites
as Health Minister Haim Ra-
mon and Deputy Foreign Min-
ister Yossi Beilin. During the
autonomy period, Israel will
have an abundance of cheap la-
bor from the territories, in ad-
dition to new immigrants and
all the other workers receiving
minimum wage or less. With
such a labor force, they say, who
needs the Histadrut?
In other words, Histadrut of-
ficers explain, the government
will not have to coordinate eco-
nomic moves with the unions
anymore because it will have
enough unorganized labor. And
if any union even thinks of
striking, the manufacturers can
close their factories and set up
new ones in Gaza, where the
average monthly wage is less.
So far, Mr. Haberfeld's calm
and restraint has infuriated
workers. Some believe he is
afraid of antagonizing Rabin
now, needing all the support he
can get in the Histadrut's pri-
maries.
Mr. Haberfeld is also anxious
