(Unity of Labor)
A Zionist socialist association of Jewish workers in Palestine. It was established in 1919 by a majority of the members of the Poalei Zion (Workers of Zion) Party, along with some members of Hapoel Hatzair. Its ambition was to unite all Jewish workers in Eretz Israel and all federations and parties in the Jewish Labor Movement and the Zionist Movement abroad. Ahdut Haavoda joined the World Alliance of Poalei Zion. It was active in aliya, immigrant absorption, and public works.
