As was first reported yesterday (Thursday) in 'Israel Today', following the decision of the club's captains to expel the team's players to an active retro club, the football players' organization has declared a labor dispute at Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Nir Alon, head of the sports division at the Histadrut: "The Hapoel Tel Aviv management has crossed a red line. Unilaterally harming the players 'salaries and taking them to the Knesset retroactively is a forceful and inhumane step, especially these days when players are anxious about their and their families' economic future.

After the team management did not respond to our request, we had to declare a labor dispute on behalf of the players.

This means that if the withholding of wages continues, players will have a legal option to strike starting on October 30.

We will support them until justice is done. "

Football Players' Association CEO Moshiko Mishalof: "We take care of the players and uncompromisingly protect their rights.

We will not allow them to be harmed and non-compliance with the agreements signed with them. "
