Biography

Reznik joined the Meretz party in 2002, and began his political activity in the Meretz Youth. As part of his activities in the Meretz Youth, he also served as the chairman of the organization.

In the years 2013-2017 he was elected on behalf of the Meretz faction to the Histadrut House of Selectmen. Since 2016, he has been working concurrently with his party activities as the secretary of a trade union in the Tel Aviv area of the Histadrut, and is involved in accompanying workers' committees and promoting organizations. Beginning in 2017, he was appointed by the Histadrut chairman at the time, Avi Nissenkorn, as a member of the Histadrut leadership, the youngest in the history of the organization. He continued to serve in the leadership of the organization also under the leadership of chairman Arnon Bar-David. As of the end of December 2021, he also serves as head of the Meretz faction in the Histadrut.
