7 Talkbacks for this article
1. If the Union workers did just that WORK Well
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (11.07.11)
There would be no need for Contract Workers. You can legally not renew their contract for bad work. You cant do that with a lousy teacher or lazy council gardener etc. that are Union Members!
2. Remove the masks of Thieves
Jorge ,   israel   (11.07.11)
Someone expressed a comment here that we are prisoners of the Histadrut, who speak in these terms is a person who does not live in Israel, the only gentlemen here who are prisoners are contract workers who are subjected to starvation wages slavery without labor rights CONDITION impoverished working poor wages and liquidated worse the lack of support to the abuses x offenders who are the famous cablanim loshilos handled years ago this story's time to see the good of trabajodores in generally and so end the abuses of a system which prevails comoes diabolical today
3. Enforcing existing laws
R ,   Israel   (11.07.11)
Enforce fair labor laws at restaurants. Prospective waiters and waitresses are made to work as many as 4 "training" shifts WITHOUT PAY before being accepted as paid employees. Many don't get a payslip, nor pay into the welfare, pension and health funds.
4. #3 Unions not needed for that
Dan ,   Tel Aviv   (11.07.11)
I worked as a waiter in Eilat and when the laws were violated, I threatened to go to a lawyer. Things changed quickly then. We don't need unions to cripple this country. The laws are on the books and there are hundreds if not thousands of lawyers in this country who will go after employers who violate them. Unions are a waste and harm the economy.
5. Useless "leaders"
Meir ,   Beit Shemesh   (11.07.11)
Dear Ofer Eini, Treasury Dept., and Judges of the National Labor Court: It is clear that by allowing such an extensive strike that you are all incompetent, on varying levels. Please each and every one of you resign your positions, effective immediately and allow the many olim that have sacrificed much to come to Israel to build and improve this country their right to "step up to the plate" and show you how to run the government properly. By you actions, or lack thereof, you have demonstrated your contempt for the hard working people of this country, with your selfish, petty little political games. It is clear that since your positions need to be filled by persons of intelligence, you are of no use to the rest of the Israeli people. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Have a wonderful day.
6. To #2
Spencer ,   Israel   (11.07.11)
I live in israelk and we ARE prisoners of the Histadrut. It's time the organisation was banned. The Histadrut stifles private enterprise and costs Israel millions of shekels in damage.
7. The ones complaining about Histadrut .
Levi ,   Karmiel   (11.07.11)
These are the people that Histadrut protects us from. They do not want fair wages this means they loose some of their profits. Israel needs fair wages 4500 is not enough for anyone to live on when rents even in the north of Israel require half or more of of this Salary Give us a break.
