Israel - Employers purposefully delay negotiations

According to the Histadrut, delaying negotiations is the principal method used by employers to try and weaken unions and their representatives. For example, Ness Technologies has been dragging its feet in negotiations since 2014. A year ago, it tried to challenge the Histadrut representativity for collective bargaining and stopped negotiations of its own initiative bringing a false claim to court. It took more than a half year to obtain a court order to resume negotiations. However, the company continues to conduct negotiations in bad faith and with no intention of reaching a collective agreement.
