Betar Jerusalem players were surprised to discover that today (Wednesday) they received the January salary in a 25 percent offset amount, even though they have not yet signed the wage cut agreement.
The players demand that the salary cut be considered a loan and repaid to them at the end of the season if one of the following happens - if the team is acquired or at least 30 percent of the team's shares are purchased, or in case of liquidation or if Moshe Hogg continues to own Betar Jerusalem.
The players' organization, which represents the players, sent a letter to the club's chairman, Eli Ohana, today, demanding that the team not reduce the salaries of players and employees whose salaries do not exceed NIS 13,500 gross and the cut will be considered a loan.

The letter in question, signed by Moshiko Mishalof, director general of the players' union, and Nir Alon, head of the Histadrut's sports division, states: "The team has ignored all understandings and has not yet signed the special collective agreement.
Moreover, on February 9, 2002, the team unilaterally reduced the salaries of the team's players and employees.
The players' union sees the reduction in wages, without signing the special collective agreement, as a blatant violation of the agreements between the parties as well as a breach of the contracts of the players and employees. "
