IAI employees are demanding a crazy bonus of NIS 100,000 per employee as part of the condition for the soon-to-be-planned privatization of the organization. The committee demands to pay the unprecedented bonus to each of the 15,000 existing workers in the industry.
This means that the cumulative cost of such a move is estimated at a whopping NIS 1.5 billion, about half of what the company planned to raise in privatization, as published this morning (Monday) in Calcalist. The new chairman, Amir Peretz, has not yet officially commented on the issue, and when it appears that he supports the position of the employees, he himself is remembered when, when he took office, he asked for a particularly high salary.

Among other things, Calcalist stated that the workers are also demanding the abolition of the wage commissioner’s demand for reimbursement of wage irregularities worth hundreds of millions of shekels, after about 3,000 employees received 45-46 wage ranks in the public service, reserved only for senior managers, without the commissioner’s approval, and others received a research rating. Although they were not entitled to it. The workers are also demanding the lifting of the ban on employing family members in the company, which has existed since 2014 in all government companies. Relatives can only be employed with special permission and in cases of excess qualifications.
Yair Katz, The chairman of the workers’ committee explained: “We have no intention of addressing the demands that arise in the negotiations. The Treasury has not yet internalized the rules of the high-tech market. As the chairman of the workers’ organization of the largest high-tech company in Israel, we as a business company must assimilate new tools in order to compete in the market with new rules of the game with an emphasis on different salaries and wage conditions. “Unfortunately, the regulations that apply to us as a government company are a deterrent.”
IAI said in response to the news: “The dialogue is taking place at the management level with the workers’ organization. The chairman of the board follows and receives reports on an ongoing basis but does not deal with the matter at this stage.”
