Teva Pharmaceutical employees on Monday 1 Rosh Chodesh Teves protested in the capital and in Ashdod. The accompanying photos are from the Ashdod protest, which took place during the afternoon hours.

Some of the striking employees who interviewed on Reshet Bet announced they have sufficient chemicals in the buildings, threatening they may blow it up. Others spoke of the possibility to halting the production of IV fluids to bring the nation’s healthcare system to its knees. For now, these threats are nothing more than words of angered and worried employees, who may face termination from employment.

Teva employees in Israel struck on Monday for a second consecutive day amid reports the company is going to dismiss over 3,000 workers in Israel.
