Following reports Netsource decided to close down, which would result in some 300 frum women losing their source of income, the Histadrut national labor federation dropped it suit against Netsource.

YWN-ISRAEL reported earlier that the company has begun informing employees that it will be shutting down. The closure is reportedly in response to the Histadrut’s decision to file suit against Netsource, alleging the company is in violation of labor law concerning conditions for employees. It appears the labor federation is preparing to take its case to a labor court in the hope of preventing Netsource from continuing to fire employees.

However, as was reported earlier, officials close to Hillel Yaakobson explain nothing has changed and the business is being closed as was announced. Yaakobson indicated the decision was final and nothing done by the Histadrut would result in retracting the decision.
