El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. (TASE: ELAL) workers committee will declare a labor dispute on Monday due to what it terms "a systematic and one-sided violation of agreements with employees."
At a meeting of El Al employees that ended Sunday afternoon in which 2,000 of the carriers 6,000 employees took part, the workers decided unanimously to declare a labor dispute.
The employees also decided to embark on a struggle against management for the alleged violations of these agreements and pledges. El Al workers committee chairman Asher Edri said, "We offered the management to sit with us and discuss the Zelika Report's recommendations but this didn't not happen."
The spirit of the Zeliak Report's recommendations formulated five months ago include injecting capital to the company's owners, cutting the number of senior management jobs and harnessing employees to the streamlining effort.
Calling a work dispute allows the employees to begin strike action in two weeks time.
