Road haulage company, Movilei Dror, recognises WAC-MAAN workers union as the legitimate representative of its lorry drivers. Negotiations between the two sides will commence Sep 17th
פורסם ב September 14, 2015 | No CommentsWAC MAAN director Assaf Adiv: We are entering a negotiation process with the management, and we are doing this with a positive attitude. We believe we can reach a collective agreement that will secure drivers’ rights and compensate them for past wrongs. Having said that, should it become clear that the management remains unmoved by the drivers’ demands, we will not hesitate to re-establish a workplace dispute and consider strike action.
