Labor union chief calls on all Teva workers to strike tomorrow

Avi Nissenkorn, head of the Histadrut labor federation in Israel, is calling on all Teva workers to declare a general strike tomorrow as part of the ongoing protests against expected mass layoffs at the pharmaceutical giant.

Netanyahu, Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon and Minister of Economy and Industry Eli Cohen are scheduled to meet with Teva CEO Kare Schultz tomorrow to try and figure out how best to lessen the blow of the Israeli drug-maker’s plans to cut its local workforce.
