new contract for oral testing and bagrut examiners ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Tzur - sharontzu5@xxxxxxx Subject: new contract for oral testing and bagrut examiners I was just about to sign the contract we are sent every year as oral examiners and bagrut examiners - and then I read it. You might not be aware of it, but there is a legal battle going on at present between the irgun and the Education Ministry concerning our work as bagrut examiners. At present, we are "independent" and have no rights of pension etc. The Irgun has been trying to see that we get certain basic rights as workers. It is now a case in the courts. In our new contract, it says that we agree that in the event that the court - or any other body, decides that we are indeed workers with rights, we agree to get only 34% of our pay and we will return 34% of the pay we received "from the beginning our connection with the Ministry of Education according to this contract!" (whatever that means). I don't see why we should agree to sign a document that undercuts the irgun position in court. I've sent a copy to the irgun, and I suggest we don't sign until we get instructions. ----------------------------------------------- Call for Articles The Etni Rag needs you ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
