Hi,
This is a response to Veronica Foldes:  "Why is there silence, no rumbling or 
grumbling about
the newest suggestion that Ran Erez is working on- 42% more pay for 67% more
hours of work?"
Recently a rep of the Irgun showed up in our school trying to recruit new 
members.  Naturally she talked about the new contract that is being negotiated 
and how much better it's going to be than Ofek Hadash.  She was very careful 
not to give any details.   I then asked her what the terms of the new contract 
are going to be - specifically.  She said that she couldn't (wouldn't?) tell 
us.  I then asked her how the Irgun was any different from the Histadrut whose 
member teachers were not consulted, not informed and had no say as to what they 
were committing to before Yossi Wasserman signed the agreement in their name.  
Her reply was: "What do you think, the Irgun is a democratic institution?  You 
aren't party to the negotiations!"  

I am told that there is a very active blog (in Hebrew) where teachers are 
discussing the issue among themselves and that is also read by other 
stakeholders (Ministry, media, politicians, union reps).  I will try to get the 
exact address.  Those of you who can manage the Hebrew are urged to make your 
voices heard on this blog and to keep abreast of what's going on.  I understand 
that there's plenty of rumbling and grumbling going on there.
