Hundreds of employees at T.M.M.

The deal, signed Tuesday, was reached between the Histadrut labor union, the management of El Al, T.M.M. management, and employee representatives.
The agreement, valid for four years, includes salary increases of up to 15% based on seniority, enhanced social and pension benefits, and expanded welfare provisions. Specifically, company contributions to employee pensions will rise to 7.5% of insured salary. Long-term employees will receive an additional two vacation days per year, with each day's value increased by NIS 100. Car maintenance allowances will also be updated and increased according to employee seniority and role, and the company's contribution to health insurance for eligible employees will grow.
A notable innovation in the agreement is the allocation of a dedicated budget for employee welfare for the first time in the company's history. This budget will be NIS 150,000 in 2026 and approximately NIS 200,000 annually from 2027 onwards.
