Talking to employees at the company, they say: "Prepare us for the possibility of a strike, we may very soon see it and the company be completely disabled. It makes no sense to take such steps, we have families, how can so many people be fired? How can we spend so much? People for free holidays? We offered an outline and they refused, now that serious steps are likely to be taken. "

"El Al's management stops everything that is organized work, which is permanent in the company, they jeopardize the organized work of El Al. They will not overwhelm us. El Al's management takes advantage of the situation and do what they are forbidden, there are agreements. The company's management sentenced the death sentence to the company While throwing away its loyal employees who have guided the company for many years. "
