Hundreds of employees of ECI Telecom Limited and representatives of the Internet and High-Tech Workers' Union demonstrated Tuesday morning near the company's headquarters in Petach Tikva and began a protest march on the city's streets.
The employees are protesting management's intention to fire about 100 of the site's 800 employees in Israel, at a time when the parties are negotiating a first collective bargaining agreement. The first talks since the outbreak of the crisis are scheduled for tomorrow.
