The protest over the planned legal reform is taking a step forward - tomorrow many hi-tech companies will sit down for one hour between 12:00 and 11:00, in what they call a "warning strike".
Among the companies that joined the strike: the Internet company Natural Intelligence, Saul Olmert's unicorn Wiz and Piggy.
Hundreds of businesses and hi-tech companies across the country issued notices to employees in the last day stating: "The company will allow any employee who wants to strike and demonstrate according to the dictates of his conscience and opinion."
At the same time, a demonstration is being organized during the protest in several locations, including the Sharona complex in Tel Aviv, Rothschild and Herzliya Pituach.
Several senior CEOs from the high-tech world will come to the demonstration in Sharon to talk to the demonstrators, including the inventor of the Disk On Key, Dov Moran, the serial entrepreneur Saul Olmert and Winon Kostica.

For businesses, and especially for those who work with investors and institutions around the world, the legal "revolution" has great significance.
"On the economic side - the damage that could happen if this revolution succeeds is catastrophic," explains the founder of Unicorn Wiz, Yanon Kostica in an interview that will be published tomorrow, "Economy does not like such changes in general, it's A-B. And if it is done in such a drastic way - bodies They won't agree to invest in us, especially non-institutional ones."
The second risk pointed out by the high-tech executive is the possible branding of Israel as an economy "without liberal conditions for business", similar to Hungary, Russia or Poland.
"There is concern in the world, Jewish investors and people who care. And those who are not interested at the moment, will hesitate to invest their money here. We did not invent the wheel - there are precedents."
