Kav LaOved - Worker's Hotline

Kav LaOved Workers’ Hotline KLO is one of Israel’s leading labor rights organizations. Since 1991, KLO has worked to ensure the equal rights and protections under the law of the most marginalized communities including Palestinians, migrant workers, refugees and vulnerable Jewish and Arab Israeli citizens. Working in sectors such as Construction, Agriculture, In-Home Caregiving etc., the organization seeks to expose exploitation and ensure a safe and just working environment for all workers. Kav LaOved’s work stems from the realization that in order to achieve lasting change it is imperative to assist people on an individual basis to realize their rights, raise awareness of labor rights among the workers and to initiate structural change that addresses the failures of the existing legal and regulatory regime.  Each year KLO assist close to 50,000 workers through our reception days, hotline, field visits and multiple Facebook pages. In 2018 alone, KLO returned over 7 million USD (more than 25 million NIS) directly to workers in illegally withheld wages and benefits, participated in over 5 High Court petitions, contributed and promoted more than 180 media items which featured KLO’s work and amplified the voices of the workers.
