Posted on Jul 5, 2020 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

14,000 social workers and employees will shut down all social services tomorrow. This, after the struggle of the Social Workers Union in recent weeks and including demonstrations and march to Jerusalem, did not produce any results. The strike will include social workers in labor and welfare ministries, education and health, local authorities, Social Security and many other bodies.
Among other things, no child investigations will be conducted, no protection orders will be given to children and youth at risk, no termination committees will be held, no response will be given to senior citizens, no domestic violence cases will be dealt with, no names of junior minors will be prepared and more.
Their social workers require "immediate and significant improvement in wages and working conditions and accelerated negotiations for deep wage structure reform." Additional requirements: Budget for establishing social protection system;
Chairman of the Association of Social Workers and Employees Inbal Hermoni said that "we are being attacked with violence and cruelty and there is no one to defend us. We have to close the month with shameful salaries and work at illogical loads. 1,000 jobs are empty because no one wants to staff them because of the rush, the epidemic of violence and shameful wages. "
She said, "An entire system has been neglected, dried up and abandoned. Finance officials want to break social services and shut them down. They have no choice but to go on the biggest strike on social services tomorrow, which has not been the case today." Deceive and report false reports of negotiations. No one exists and does not negotiate with us.
The Ministry of Finance said in response that "Ministry representatives met with representatives of the Social Workers Union and have heard their arguments numerous times over the past few months.
