I figured it's time to get the word out, since it seems to be invisible on the international level: after the security guards contracted to Weizmann Institute of Science managed to unionize and to force the institute to meet their demands (which apparently had to do with basic conditions denied to them), their colleagues contracted to Kaplan Medical Center and to Soreq Nuclear Research Center followed suit. There are potential drives among security guards in other places in the Rehovot area, as well.
In order to raise their visibility, the head of the Kaplan union decided to organize a football (not American, you yanks) tournament between the various guard unions, and managed to get a stadium and some equipment from the Rehovot municipality for that purpose. I think he's also going to try and get some sponsors (thus possibly getting co-opted :-/).
Everything I've managed to find about it online is written in Hebrew, and even that's not much. I'll post more as things progress.
Can comment on articles and discussions
we'll be happy to get as much support as possible from people that will show up and take part in our struggle.
