Hundreds of workers of the generic drugmaker Teva have held demonstrations to protest the multinational pharmaceutical company\u2019s decision to lay off nearly 2,000 of its workforce as a half-day strike over the move suspended key services across the occupying entity.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tIsrael\u2019s trade union\u00a0Histadrut\u00a0on Sunday held the crippling strike to voice its strong dissent against the move by the Israeli Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, the world’s largest manufacturer of generic drugs, which intends to make 1,750 employees redundant in Israel.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe layoffs, almost one-quarter of the company\u2019s local workforce, are part of plans, announced last week, to lay off 14,000 other Teva workers across the world over the next two years, over a quarter of its global workforce of over 55,000.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe work stoppage, considered to be the biggest to hit Israel in several years, shut down banks, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, government offices, the Knesset, ports, airports, insurance companies, the courts, post offices, phone companies, Israel Electric Corporation, health services, universities, local municipalities and regional councils, along with Teva facilities across the occupied territories.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, protesting rallies were held against the move in Jerusalem al-Quds, the coastal cities of Ashdod and Netanya, and the central Israel city of Petah Tikva, where the company\u2019s headquarters is based.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn several cities, including Jerusalem al-Quds, protesters, set tires on fire but according to Israeli police they were quickly extinguished. Demonstrators also briefly blocked the entrance to the city before police removed them and their barricades from the highway.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Israel media outlets, around 200 workers of the company in Jerusalem al-Quds barricaded themselves in city\u2019s Teva factory in protest to the move, preventing managers from leaving the building.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
