[etni] ran erez a more intimate meeting

We had an intimate open meeting with Ran Erez in the Beersheva Conservatorium 
yesterday, just him on a small,bare, stage and local teachers in the audience 
in a small hall.
   
  I did not expect it after what I have seen in the media, but I was impressed. 
He has all the issues at his fingertips, a real grasp of everything and is very 
much on the ball. I came away feeling that we are fortunate to have this 
intelligent, experienced and cunning old,strategist to lead us. He knows what 
he is doing, and is doing it for us and won't give in.
   
  I also admired the fortitude it must have taken to stand up the pressures 
placed upon him, (which apparently included tapping of home and cellular phones 
and such shameful stuff.)
   
   
   
  WARNING to teachers still in the Histadrut Hamorim, There are going to be TWO 
REFORMS, one for members of the Histadrut and one for members of the Irgun. 
Teachers teaching in the same school but belonging to different organisations 
will have different misrot and different rights.
   
   
  Histadrut members will end up with a much larger misrah for their basic 
salary, that is they will work more hours for the same money, ( 36 hours )  and 
they will lose all sorts of benefits like shaot gil, gmulim for hishtalmuyot, 
and so on.  Irgun members will not lose any of these benefits at all and will 
not have their basic misrot of 24 hours increased, though within two years they 
will have to add on two hours for tutoring of groups of 2-3 students. (Like we 
don't do this anyway voluntarily.) 
   
  Apparently there will be some legal trick for histadrut members such that 
when they accept a payment that they 'won' in their rather rotten agreement, 
this will signify their assent and that they have entered the histadrut 
hamorim's reform - and are stuck with it.
   
  It seems to me that if you can you should move over to the irgun hamorim damn 
quick and get in on their arrangement, or it will be too  late and you will be 
stuck.
   
  Charming isn't it??
   
   
  regards to all,
   
  Ben Sommer
