Coyote, did you hear about the dead-sea worksites crisis in Israel?
No - did you post it in IP?
Well, no.
Basically, it started about a few weeks ago; In Israel there's this huge 'company', Khil, which deals with producing minerals and chemicals. Among those there's the Dead-Sea factory, they dig in the dead-sea to produce salt, many of the Israeli dead-sea merchandise is thanks to the dead-sea factory. All those factories are managed by the Israeli Offer family. They own this huge project and they're one of the richest families in Israel.
Anyhow, weeks ago, they decided they start firing people randomly, in order to "Optimize" their worksites. Since most of the dead-sea factories were located in south, it caused a mess in the factory, people protested the heartless method of firing people without notice. They fired about 500-700 people in the south, and in a district that already has very little job-offerings, this was a hit below the belt.
So now the entire Khil factory, dead-sea works among them, opened stike, basically, any worker who belongs to one of those factories in southern Israel is striking, sympathizing with those who've been fired. So instead of about 600 people without a job, we're talking nearly 7000. Most of them people who've been already influenced by the previous war. The workers' organizations already threatened a strike in all state as response to the crisis in Khil.
Meanwhile, my dad is out of a job, and we don't know what's going to happen with that. So it's nice and all to talk about peace with the palestinians, but we have an entire district in working-crisis, and I think it's a little more important than peace, Iran, palestinians right now. But maybe it's just me.
