The Histadrut (General Federation of Labor in Israel) today declared a labor dispute at Educational Television over what it calls "a unilateral decision by management to outsource work." Educational Television is government owned.
A source at Educational Television expressed surprise at the announcement, saying, "Nothing has happened recently that is any different from the conduct of the past few years. For example, half of our broadcasts on Channel 2 must be outsourced. That's the law."
The source added that the workers committee told management three weeks ago that they were going to call a labor dispute. "We asked the workers what it was about, but we did not receive an answer," he said.
Educational Television said in response, "Educational Television was surprised by the announcement. We operate by law, and we'll be happy to sit down with the workers and their representatives to review their claims."
