“The workers are not a herd of sheep sold”: Intel acquired Tower Tower Tower for an estimated $ 5.8 billion, Leon Peretz, chairman of the Northern Valleys Region at the Histadrut, this morning (Wednesday) criticized the acquisition and the fact that employees had not heard of the deal before selling the company, and apparently as of right now. You will not be properly remunerated in light of the sale in an interview with Liat Ron on Radio North 104.5fm.
“This is a holiday for Migdal Haemek. I would also like it to be a holiday for the workers as well,” he began, adding, “The deal was made in the dark under the radar. None of the workers knew such a deal was taking place. This, and it is not taken into account.There can be no such situation, a factory sold for several billion – what happens to the workers? Where are they in the picture? Are they not eligible for the grant? As it happens in all the factories that purchase? We receive this grant, which would be passed on in communication to the employees. ”
He went on to say of the message received by the factory workers, “What I heard was passed to the workers, it is written that at this stage they do not intend to lay off workers and close sites, I think it does not matter. The factory received grants over the years from the state To receive royalties in the thousands of dollars, take for example Tnuva, employees received from the sale two hundred and fifty thousand shekels according to seniority, I think they did not take the employees into account and do not count them. ”

He later turned to the management, claiming that they would take various steps if they did not receive an answer, “I call on the management to negotiate with the employees, again I say, I welcome, it is good for Migdal HaEmek that I have a big nose. Employees demand to be part of this deal, everything is open. “Take them into account, they are not a coin to the merchant, they are not a flock of sheep sold. They are workers who have contributed throughout their years in hard work thanks to these workers. Intel today buys the factory.”
