The Histadrut responded angrily to reports of Bezeq's intention to lay off hundreds of employees in its subsidiaries.
Yaky Halutzi, chairman of the cellular, Internet and high-tech workers 'union, called on Bezeq's board of directors to honor the collective agreements signed by them. "The companies have agreements that regulate the retirement of workers with the consent of the employees' representatives only. Bezeq's board of directors must come to its senses and stop the unnecessary celebrations and attempts to harm Pelephone's employees and Bezeq International.
"In addition to signing agreements by the end of 2019, the Histadrut will not harm the status of any employee in the company and will not hesitate to act by all means at its disposal," Halutzi added.
