This morning, the Histadrut declared a strike at the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, which will last for several hours.

Further steps will be considered below.

The strike is relevant to about 600 workers and as part of it, the tours of the Western Wall tunnels and the work in the foundation's management offices were stopped.

More than two weeks ago, a labor dispute was declared at the site, following a deadlock in negotiations to sign a first collective agreement that would improve the employment conditions of the fund's employees, as well as harm to working conditions and beyond the employment of workers through manpower companies.

The Western Wall Heritage Foundation is engaged in carrying out development work, preservation and maintenance of the Western Wall, conducting excavations in the Western Wall tunnels, presenting exhibitions and publishing publications related to the Western Wall.

"Lack of good faith"

Causes of the labor dispute declared in the fund stated that: "The employer is conducting deliberate procrastination and in bad faith in negotiations, and stubbornly refuses any offer from the workers 'representatives.

The employer violates the workers' working conditions by unilaterally changing their wages and scope of service."

It was further stated that the employer recruits new employees through staffing companies in positions previously filled by the fund's employees, and that there is "employer harassment of members of the workers 'committee, with the aim of weakening the workers' representation and damaging collective labor relations."

"Management spreads us"

The chairman of the Jerusalem area in the Histadrut, Danny Bonfil,

said: "They turned the workers into slaves.

The workers receive the lowest salaries in the economy, and in recent years we have been trying to reach a collective agreement, but the management is doing everything to prevent this.

Therefore, I had no choice but to shut down the place for a few hours, and then, if necessary, for a few days. "

, said:" We want to reach a collective agreement, but the management is "We have been together for four years. In those four years, about 80% of the workers have replaced and brought in staffing company workers. Harassing the committee, making us feel unwanted, and unwilling to cooperate with us. The consultants get millions and the workers remain poor."
