Below is a summary of an article by Adv. Yariv Vaknin<\/strong><\/a>, as originally published in the Israeli magazine “At” (Et). For many of us, the workplace is our second home. We spend many hours there every day. The work environment therefore plays a major role in our lives. The data show that roughly one-third of Israelis experience workplace abuse. Adv. Yariv Vaknin explains the legal implications of this phenomenon.<\/p>\n

At our firm, Adv. Meryam Kanaan Msalha<\/strong><\/a> leads this field. She heads the Labor Law and Defamation department. Our team provides legal protection in Afula<\/a> and in Bnei Brak<\/a>. We act to protect the rights of employees in Israel.<\/p>\n
