What recent key move did you lead?
As of 12/22, a precedent ruling was handed down by the National Labor Court in the case that dealt with sexual harassment. As a result of regulations regarding the existence of "authority relationships" in the workplace according to which power differences between employees can arise not only in a situation of adversarial relationships but also in intermediate cases where there are "influence relationships" that are somewhere in the middle between adversarial relationships (superior to subordinate) and the absence of adversarial relations (coworkers in the same status).

As a precedent for future jurisprudence concerning sexual harassment, the ruling has been widely covered by the media:
Globes 12.12.2022 - "The National Court dramatically expands the ban on abusive relationships in the workplace"
Ynet 12.12.2022 - "A ruling in favor of a waitress who has been harassed by a chef expands the ban on abusive relationships"
Walla 12.12.2022 - "Precedent decision: the Labor Court ruled that sexual harassment exists not only in the case of superior to subordinate relationships"
Mako 13.12.2022 - "Final verdict: 185 thousand NIS to the waitress who was harassed by an influential employee".
