Here is a bitter pill that will not go down in your throat: a dispute that arose between the director of Teva's tablet factory in Kfar Saba and the chairman of the workers' committee threatens to disrupt its activities.

In a letter sent by Eliezer Blue, chairman and reached Walla money, stated, inter alia: "I realized that things are very serious and are not allowed on the part of the site office (plant tablets nature Kfar Saba) designed to harm chairman of the workers personally and the Histadrut.

this turned webmistress personalized A member of the workers 'committee, with the exception of the chairman, asked each of them if he gave backing to the chairman of the committee, and asked to know what legal actions they could take in order to remove the chairman from the workers' date. While using serious statements such as using illegal means to dismiss him.

This is an injury and serious intervention due to the organization of the workers by a senior manager.

Crossing a red line regarding harm to the Histadrut and the workers' committee.

"This is not the first time that the plant's management has tried to harm the chairman of the workers' committee or to treat him with lies."

Blue added that Teva is also violating the new collective agreements it signed with the workers this year, noting that "the ink on the papers is not dry and we see that all agreements are almost violated .... For example: contrary to the agreement, contractors are put into the factory, India. this is in addition to the conduct that is incompatible with the collective agreement with regard to the lists of the unemployed.

In addition, it turns out that the job has become redundant According to management never becomes unnecessary and there attempt the job site including changes in job descriptions of employees and adding the position of workers who were laid off. and if that were not enough, the site of jobs Teva's opened a number of jobs for positions that employees were fired from in the process.

In a letter sent by

, to the factory workers, which was also received by Walla! Money, it was further stated: " On what is happening.

Send hints and threats that if we declare a labor dispute, we will be harmed.

We no longer have the opportunity to sit on our feet in the state of affairs, what is more, moves are being made by management to harm the organized work on the site and weaken our organizational power, and we will not allow this.

We gave a real opportunity to cooperate with the management and harness the recovery of the site, while putting us all 'under the stretcher', but unfortunately the management not only did not set a personal example, it ostensibly continued the celebrations of waste while holding off-site meetings and conferences. That's it. "

The recruitment is the employees' consent to the terms of the new collective agreements signed this year between the company and the employees, in the framework of which 198 employees out of about 1,400 employees of the site were fired or fired early (before the dismissals).

This is after the employee protection agreements signed with them expired this year after gradual reductions initiated by Teva at the end of 2017. The reductions were then required as part of an efficiency plan implemented due to a $ 40 billion debt created for the company as a result of the acquisition of generic drug allergen in Ireland by Actavis.

Kozlik added in his letter: "We will be updated on the course of action as in the current situation it is not possible to continue in light of the existing disconnect between management on the site and in the company for treating employees and continuing to violate our rights, non-compliance,

We will not hesitate to make difficult and painful decisions and take difficult steps. "It will be recalled that last May Walla! Money was exposed, because the committee hired the services of

Nature's response: "There is no way to solve things except around the negotiating table"

Teva responded: "We reject, in any case, any claim of violation of the freedom of association at the Kfar Saba site.

In recent weeks, and even more so since the signing of the collective agreement at the Kfar Saba site, Teva and the site's management Of the collective agreement and the making of such and such decisions, which have nothing to do with reality or are not relevant at all today.On the

other hand, all attempts by the company to meet with workers' representatives and initiate a transparent and fruitful dialogue, as we always do, and rejection time after time.

even when a meeting scheduled with the mediation of the father Nisnokrn, canceled the meeting by organizing workers several hours prior to the date of the meeting, without any reason.

nature is ready to reach out again and hold a meeting soon to ram things out, as a Kfar Saba and employees significant And we are precious, and there is no other way to resolve things but around the negotiating table. "
