Rami Levy Retail Chain Faces Major Lawsuit Over Employee Deductions

Rami Levy Retail Chain Faces Major Lawsuit Over Employee Deductions

A class-action lawsuit has been approved against the Rami Levy supermarket chain in Israel, representing thousands of cashiers over the past seven years. The suit alleges illegal deductions from employee wages for cash register shortages. The Regional Labor Court ruled that random shortages are not a "fixed debt" and cannot be automatically deducted, especially for minimum wage workers, unless negligence is proven. The chain denies the claims, stating deductions were consensual and procedural, but the court found the practice to be systematic.

Namibian Doctor Recognizes ZAKA Volunteer, Cancels Autopsy for Israeli Traveler

A Namibian pathologist recognized ZAKA volunteer Yossi Landau during a video call, leading him to cancel an autopsy for a recently deceased Israeli traveler.

The doctor agreed to release the Israeli's body for burial in Israel without an autopsy due to their prior acquaintance and ZAKA's work respecting the dead.
