Israel Chemicals Ltd.’s workers have ended their sanctions for the time being. The sanctions which were imposed on Sunday ended yesterday. They disrupted all shipments from the company’s plants in southern Israel. The workers prevented raw materials from entering production facilities. The sanctions did not impact exports.
Industry sources said that the workers were “flexing their muscles” as part of a protest against management following the announcement of plans to implement a recovery plan that includes cutbacks in the work force and the shutdown of the magnesium plant in Sdom. Initially the unions said the sanctions would continue until further notice.
