Sources inform ‘‘Globes’’ that Electra Consumer Products Company. is considering halting services to Charedi areas after violent attacks against the company’s technicians. The company has hired private security guards at the homes of its executives.
Yesterday, the Charedi rabbinical court issued a boycott against Electra Consumer Products, which resulted in violent attacks against the company’s technicians making service calls at Charedi customers. The boycott was issued because Electra Consumer Products sister company, Electra Real Estate Ltd. is a party in the construction of a hotel on the site of the old French Hospital on Yefet in Jaffa, where Kevarim are being desecrated.
By law, Electra Consumer Products must answer service calls, but the company decided that if the attacks against its personnel continue, it will ask the regulator for permission not to provide service.
Electra Consumer Products and Electra Real Estate are subsidiaries of Elco Holdings Ltd. controlled by chairman Georg Salkind.

Dont dig up Jewish graves so you wont be boyctted by orthodox Jews. Imagine a company that destroys black peoples graves,would not that company be subject to protests.
Mr Heshy, you are purposely clouding the issue.
boycott all you want, it’s your democratic right… but if you attack Electra workers you are a criminal and deserve to find yourself in jail

“violent attacks against the company’s technicians making service calls at Charedi customers.” Since when did it become mutar for frum Jews beat up innocent technicians who have nothing to do with the policies of the company they work for(not that it would be ok to beat up the policy makers either)?
These people operate under their own laws. This is not Judaism. The Torah says Deracheha Darchei Noam. Hurting innocent people antithetical to Torah. It leads to churban.
In all probability the reason why they want to stop doing service calls is because it doesn’t pay for them. They are being boycotted by the Chareidim so they aren’t making more money off them, just have to service them but get no new buyers! Besides it’s a good way to get back at the boycotters!
Can someone show me even 1 article about Charedim attacking Electra technicians? I searched the web at many anti-charedi websites and couldn’t find one. Nether did a google search come up with anything.
Softwords, there is no need to go to any “anti-charedi” websites. This is from Kikar Shabbat (a charedi newsite)

#5 – there were quite a few instances, and it was reported on Arutz Sheva, Ynetnews, and I think also here. Their cars were set on fire several times.
