The protected plant was closed, people with disabilities were left without work:
a rehabilitation plant of the Gesher organization in Or Yehuda, which employs about 70 disabled people, closed surprisingly last night (Sunday) and now the shelter has no place of employment.
The shelters arrived at work this morning as usual, but discovered that they could not earn a living.
They have no way to make a living.
The factory sponsors,
This is a protected factory where the workers pack mainly electronic products and which is located in the building of the Or Yehuda municipality - with half of the workers being residents of the city.
This is an old building that has not been renovated or maintained for years and now the Or Yehuda municipality claims that the building is dangerous and as a result the workers were removed.
This means that the sponsors cannot enter the factory, all the goods have been taken out of it, their work has been stopped and they are left at a loss outside the factory.
There are disagreements about the reason for closing the plant at the moment, and the Or Yehuda municipality claims that an engineer has determined that the structure is dangerous and should be demolished.
According to them, Gesher was hired to employ half of the workers (residents of Or Yehuda) in a nearby building that is not dangerous and there are attempts to find a solution.
On the other hand, there are those who claim that the municipality's move is economic-real estate and that the municipality wants the area for its needs.
Dangerous structure or equal real estate destination ?,
A supplier who works with the factory said this morning that "the situation of the sponsors is difficult, there is a lot of hysteria and uncertainty about what will happen tomorrow. As their supplier I feel a huge commitment to a place that has given me service for over 7 years.
The Ministry of Welfare stated that a meeting will be held tomorrow with members of the Gesher Association in order to find shelter alternatives for employment with transportation at the ministry's expense.
The Israel Vocational Rehabilitation Services Bridge is an organization founded by the Ministry of Welfare with the aim of providing vocational rehabilitation services throughout the country to people with physical, mental, sensory, intellectual and social disabilities.
The Or Yehuda Municipality responded: "The Or Yehuda Municipality is working to provide a wide range of services for people with special needs. In recent days, an engineer report has been received stating that the old building on Haganah Street is defined as a dangerous building and should be evacuated without delay.
In a meeting held last night chaired by Gil Gil Mammon, representatives of the municipality and representatives of Gesher, it was agreed that a solution will be given to the residents of Or Yehuda, all within the framework of an administrative structure that operates in a safe place. Examines a number of alternatives and will provide the best service for them, as it has done over the past few years. That will provide a solution for toddlers aged 0-3.
