As part of a comparison agreement, the state paid 3.2 million NIS differentials for 15 sections, religious people in the Ethiopian community submitted against the state and the local authorities. The Be’er Sheva Regional Labor Labor Court recently approved the agreement and gave it the validity of a judgment. The plaintiffs are presented in the procedure by lawyer Alexander Spinard and lawyer Mia Ovadia and the Civil Rights Association. The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Religious Services are presented by the public prosecutor’s office (civil) and public prosecutor’s office.
After an Ethiopian struggle against the Ethiopian community, it was found that the cases that began in their role in their communities in Ethiopia before immigration were used when employees were used in the religious councils and whose wages were financed by the state. Over the years, complaints have raised complaints that religious councils do not pay them the full salary they earn, the consideration for the salary of rabbis in the neighborhood. In October 2005 there was also a hearing to the Knesset immigration committee, in which the CEO of religious services, Meir Spiegeler, said that the authority corrected the injustice.
In 2008, the cases had to sue the state and the religious councils they were busy. The religious advice argued before the tribunal that they do not make up employers who operate independently, but only a pipeline for the transfer of their wages from the state. The regional labor court decided that the state and religious councils make up their employers together with the state. This decision appealed that the religious advice was the exclusive employer of the cases, and against the religious council, the state was undermined that the state was its exclusive employer.
In May 2020, the National Labor Court rejected the appeal and survived the decision of the regional court that the state and religious councils are employed together in the cases, and made it clear that they are actually justified to pay the wage differences and returned the case to the regional court
As a result, the state was working on formulating an agreement between the parties and even renting experts in order to check the financial data and carry out target calculations according to the guidelines specified by the tribunal. Although mediation meetings are also fulfilled to solve the problem. Finally, with the help of the tribunal, the agreement between the parties that received a judgment was reached.
