Following today's decision by the Competition Court to overturn the Competition Authority's decision and allow the merger between Mizrahi Tefahot Bank (TASE:MZTF) and Union Bank of Israel (TASE: UNON), the Union Bank workers committee has called an immediate strike. The committee said in statement: "This wretched decision will hurt hundreds of families of Union Bank employees, cause a diminution in competition, and harm bank customers. We will not stand aside while our livelihoods are about to be cut off, therefore, as a first step, all the bank's employees are asked to stop work, leave their offices and go home now, and tomorrow the bank will be shut."
